Red Oak’s mission is to provide the very best service for our clients, putting their safety, service, and community first. We are both humble and grateful for the opportunity to serve you and our community.
Red Oak Sanitation came from the modest beginnings of a small, one-truck operation in 2001 providing service to 120 customers in Hall County, Georgia. Long hours and hard work for owner Lynn Luce and her only truck driver was well worth the effort, as the business grew, and word of mouth spread around Hall County about the home-grown garbage company that was providing superior service alongside the large waste removal corporations.
In 2002, Red Oak Sanitation bought Environmental Waste, and business began to take off. Suddenly, Red Oak Sanitation’s fleet expanded from one to four, and the company’s customer base grew to 5,000. Red Oak began marketing to Gwinnett County, and soon, residents near Buford, Suwanee, and Duluth were able to sign on for Red Oak’s brand of solid customer service at a price that could compete with larger corporations.
In 2003, Red Oak Sanitation grew once more by gaining the knowledge and experience of two men considered to be veterans in the waste removal industry. Marlon “Stub” Luce and Anthony Grutadaurio joined the Red Oak Sanitation team. They both had over 20 years of experience in the waste industry and are former owners of All-Cycle Sanitation, a north Fulton based company. Stub and Anthony owned and operated All-Cycle throughout the majority of the 1990’s. The lessons they learned and the skills they obtained during that venture have proven to be extremely valuable assets to Red Oak Sanitation.
In 2007, Red Oak expanded its territory to include Forsyth and Fulton Counties. Since that time, the company has grown to provide service to over 150,000 customers in North Georgia. Red Oak has done so by entering contracts with Gwinnett County, the City of Cumming, and the City of Dawsonville.
Red Oak Sanitation has developed one of the best customer service departments in the business – a customer service department that values always having a person to answer the phone during business hours above all else. From the very beginning, and still today, Red Oak Sanitation operates under the principles of superior service and competitive pricing.
