We are a family owned and operated small, local business, serving Central Alberta. The company is owned and operated by Barton and Amanda Ten Hove. We specialize in weekly garbage service for villages, farms, businesses, sub-divisions, and acreages.
We have 8 reliable, up to date trucks. We manually load the recycling into the side of the compactors. The trucks are run by the owners, Barton & Herb as well as Clayton who is part of the family as well. The office work and billing is done by Amanda.
Our goal is to bring you a consistent and dependable service. Any questions or concerns about recycling are answered by those doing the work and we are happy to work with you with these concerns to get the best possible solutions.
We believe you will find us committed and respectful to our clients.
