In the Spring of 2005, Dennis and Patty Lilly made the decision to start a local sanitation company that would provide dependable and affordable service to the community. Even though it was a big step and would require a large investment, they felt there was a huge need in East Texas for such a service. To get the business up and running, Dennis decided to order a garbage truck and thirty dumpsters. In addition to knocking on doors, he drove and loaded garbage every day. Meanwhile, Patty was returning phone calls, signing up customers, and bookkeeping while holding down a full-time job at a local bank. Their son Cory also worked for Lilly Sanitation while attending school and joined the family business full time after graduating in 2008. Lilly Sanitation has come a long way in the past thirteen years. Now employing ten full-time employees, operating four trucks daily, and running sixteen weekly routes throughout East Texas.

Lilly Sanitation is locally owned and operated, offering weekly residential and commercial garbage pick-up. It employs courteous and dependable drivers, as well as helpful office staff. Dennis and Patty feel their customers deserve the best when it comes to their services, and they strive to make each customer’s experience a positive one. They believe hard work, determination, and commitment to their customers is what sets them apart from their competition.
