COMPANY OVERVIEW

ABOUT US

Why Red Oak Stands Out

At Red Oak Sanitation, our mission is clear: deliver exceptional service while putting safety, community, and customer satisfaction first. We take pride in serving our clients and are grateful for the trust our communities place in us.

Founded in 2001 as a single-truck operation in Hall County, Georgia, Red Oak Sanitation began with just 120 customers. Owner Lynn Luce and her lone driver worked tirelessly to provide dependable, personalized service, quickly earning a reputation for reliability in a market dominated by larger waste removal companies.

In 2002, we expanded by acquiring Environmental Waste, growing our fleet from one truck to four and increasing our customer base to 5,000. This allowed us to extend our services into Gwinnett County, reaching residents in Buford, Suwanee, and Duluth with the same commitment to quality and competitive pricing.

By 2003, Red Oak Sanitation strengthened its team by bringing on industry veterans Marlon “Stub” Luce and Anthony Grutadaurio, former owners of All-Cycle Sanitation. Their decades of experience brought invaluable expertise that helped Red Oak refine operations and continue growing.

Since 2007, Red Oak has expanded into Forsyth and Fulton Counties and now proudly serves over 150,000 customers across North Georgia. Our partnerships with Gwinnett County, the City of Cumming, and the City of Dawsonville reflect our dedication to reliable, community-focused service.

At Red Oak, our customer service team is a cornerstone of our business. We ensure a live person answers every call during business hours, maintaining the personal touch that has defined us from day one. With a focus on superior service and fair pricing, Red Oak Sanitation operates under the principles of superior service and competitive pricing.

Bill Perdue
Well, today, Marquis was gathering the garbage and allowed Mr Connor to ride in the neighborhood with him as he finished his route here. That was the most awesome Christmas gift he could’ve received. You have an excellent employee in Mr Marquis! God bless him and your company for hiring such a wonderful young man!
Sara Fonnett
Great recycling program! Very transparent. Other trash companies cut back or stopped their recycling all together due to staffing shortages. Red oak pressed on and did wonderful with trash and recycling! The trash man always gives my son a friendly beep too 🙂
Kenneth Hopkins
Spoke with a young lady regarding a bulk item pick-up, she was courteous, professional and patient, emailed me all necessary instructions for item removal.
Nate Claggett
Much cheaper than other options and easy to set up. Only have used their services for a couple weeks, but everything is as expected!
Doug George
We have used Red Oak since 2009 and have been very pleased with the service. They have never missed a pickup without first providing advance notice (usually weather-related), and they have a very robust recycling program. We have recently disposed of some large items that they hauled away with no issue, after having provided them with prior notice. We have lived at this address since 2001, and they have been the best trash hauler we have used.
Daniel Stamps
They run like clockwork - I've never been missed, and the pickup day/time is always the same. If there's a holiday or something that prevents them from running on the pickup day, they'll text/email you when the next one will be ahead of time (and it's always the next day). Super convenient. Never had a problem.

Red Oak is reliable, professional, and courteous. They are great at sending out reminders regarding changes in their schedule due to holidays, and I have been completely happy with my switch to their service from a large, national service that repeatedly skipped pick-ups for my home.
Ashley Wood
We have been a customer for four years and so far we are very very pleased with our service. Red Oak is always great in leaving voicemails and or emails about holiday scheduling, when it affects our Tuesday morning pickups. Again very professional and, we have never had a problem and will continue to support Red Oak. Thank you again.
