History :

City Sanitary Service is a division of Kahut Waste Services, LLC. Kahut Waste Services is a family of companies, originally established in 1967. We began as a one-truck company operated by the owner, Fred Kahut. In 1974 Fred sold his small Portland route and, with his brother Jerry, established the franchise in Canby, Oregon. In 1980, they established K.B. Recycling, Inc, a material recovery facility. K.B. Recycling is now one of the largest facilities, of it's kind, in the state. In 2002, a state of the art facility was built in Clackamas, Oregon. The facility receives recyclable material from haulers all over Oregon and surrounding states. We process approximately 80,000 tons of material every year. In 1983, K.B. Recycling piloted the first curbside recycling program in Oregon (West Linn). K.B. Recycling, Hoodview Disposal, and City Sanitary Service are currently operated out of our Clackamas location. Over 37 years, Fred and Jerry acquired five franchise areas as well as opened a privately owned transfer station. In 2004, Jerry retired, leaving ownership to Fred and his wife, Nancy.
