In an industry where many of the other haulers are owned by national companies, Cedar Grove is locally owned and operated. Not only does this create green jobs that benefit the local economy, it allows Cedar Grove greater flexibility and responsiveness in partnering with area businesses - providing customized options that serve your unique business needs with a coordinated approach that can save money and increase efficiencies.

Our services include:

Site Assessment. A Cedar Grove consultant will carefully evaluate your needs and current service to recommend the program options best suited to your business.

Proposal. A proposal with our recommendations for services and products will be provided for your review and approval.

Training. A Cedar Grove trainer will come to your place of business as often as needed to properly educate employees about the program at NO additional cost to you.

Containers. Your containers will be delivered approximately one week prior to the start of your service.

“In our 78th year in business, we at Ivar’s think about things for the long term. That’s why we were one of Cedar Grove’s first restaurant customers for compostable waste from our restaurants. We’ve cut the amount of waste going to landfill by composting and recycling what we can. And then we buy the composted results and dig it back into the gardens at our stores. As another family-owned business with a long history in Seattle, Cedar Grove has been a good partner for Ivar’s and knows how to Keep Clam, too.”

– Bob Donegan, CEO, Ivar’s

"Cedar Grove is easily the most responsive, informative and engaged waste hauler that Taco Time has ever worked with."

- Wes Benson, Taco Time

"We are excited to work with a locally-owned company that is committed to reducing our use of garbage as a primary means of disposal. The opportunity to compost in all of our locations has been embraced by employees and customers alike."

- Matt Galvin, Pagliacci
