On the job

Real crew. Real trucks. Real Columbia jobs.

Not stock photography. Every photo below is our crew, our trucks, and a job we actually ran in Mid Missouri. Family-owned means the people in these pictures are the same people you meet on your driveway.

The difference

What you get with a local crew vs. a national franchise.

National chains carry franchise fees — and those fees find their way onto your invoice every time. We are independent, family-owned, and accountable to our neighbors, not a corporate office in another state.

Responsibility

Donate, recycle, then dump. In that order.

Illegal dumping poisons Missouri waterways and breeds mosquitoes that carry West Nile. We refuse to be part of that. Every load is tracked, documented, and accounted for, end to end.

  • Reusable items are offered to Love Columbia and our other community partners whenever possible, before they ever reach the landfill.
  • Metals and electronics are routed to recyclers.
  • Remaining waste goes to the City of Columbia Bioreactor Landfill.
  • Hazardous items we cannot legally accept are flagged with disposal instructions during the quote.
