Mill Valley

For many years, the yard that stored our trucks was located where Mill Valley Middle School is now located. At that time, our office was on Miller Ave.

San Rafael

In 1972, we moved to a relatively undeveloped area (at the time) on East Francisco Blvd. in San Rafael near the entrance to the Richmond Bridge.

Current Location

In 1975, when our friends from Marin Sanitary Service moved into their new headquarters on Anderson Dr., we took over their old site on 112 Front St. in San Rafael. We've been here ever since.
