Heiberg Garbage & Recycling, LLC is a family owned company that was born in 1947 when Vern Heiberg acquired a route in the Sellwood-Moreland neighborhood of Portland. Vern purchased the route from a newspaper ad and with the help of his wife, Marian, managed the route and paperwork. Marian took care of the books and Vern ran the collection route. They purchased their first compactor truck in 1967.

When Vern’s son, Bruce, purchased the company from his father in 1973 at the age of 19, it was a two person route. Brian Heiberg, another of Vern’s sons, joined Bruce in the late 70’s as an employee and later became a partner. The third generation of the Heiberg family is active in the family business and plans to carry on the tradition for many years to come.

Today, Heiberg Garbage & Recycling, LLC strives to provide quality customer service at fair rates. We want our customers to be happy. We are also active members in our community. We participate in and donate our time, trucks and drivers to numerous neighborhood clean ups, Boys & Girls Club events, Boy Scouts events and P.I.L. High School athletic events.

In addition, we service commercial, multi-family and drop boxes throughout the entire Portland area.

SUSTAINABILITY

Heiberg Garbage & Recycling
image1(HGR) is not only picking up refuse and recyclables in the Portland area, it’s now cleaning up the metropolitan air shed and helping with noise reduction. HGR currently operates 5 compressed natural gas (CNG) fueled garbage trucks and it’s own private CNG fueling station in Milwaukie, Oregon. HGR is adding 5 additional CNG trucks to its fleet in 2015. This is a big step in the right direction for a locally family owned and operated company. Although there is a large initial capitol investment to make this change, HGR feels our customers and environment are worth it.

Heiberg Garbage & Recycling is committed to conversion of it’s fleet to CNG fuels. As a small business and early adopter, we welcome and need participation by the State of Oregon and other fleets to make these innovative investments and have a reliable distributed CNG fueling infrastructure. HGR accepts its role in the early development of Oregon’s CNG, and other alternative fuel markets, as innovators, promoters, supporters and leaders. We have gained valuable experience and look forward to sharing that experience with State and other fleet managers as we all transition to cleaner, more economical and beneficial domestic fuels.
