Our History

Jesse Park, Ralph's father, started the business in 1960 by going door to door asking people if they would like to have their garbage removed.By 1982 the business had grown to the point that Jesse could no longer, properly and efficiently, maintain the business and a full time job. At this time Ralph and Josie purchased the business, which consisted of 420 customers, 2 trucks and a garage.

In 2008 Parks began curb-side recycling service to meet the demand of customers who wanted an easy way to recycle and protect the environment. Today, the company recycles cardboard, glass, aluminum, phone books, newspapers, aerosol cans and other materials.
