Mauldin’s family business efficiently takes care of community trash services

Efficiently taking care of one of the most underappreciated, but necessary, tasks, Mauldin Trash Services has been helping keep the surrounding communities clean for over two decades.

Mauldin Trash Services was created back in December of 1995, and started as a simple idea that quickly expanded. According to owner Renee Mauldin, the company was originally started to supplement her family’s established chicken farm business with additional cash flow.

“The idea for the business came about because we wanted a little extra money, on top of what we made from our chicken houses, to be able to afford to take vacations and have more enjoyable experiences,” Mauldin said. “All we had was six customers and a pickup truck when we started out.”

The family had initially planned to only service residences in the local Fairmount area, but decided to expand its reach further out as they observed the growing need for proficient trash pick- up in other counties. Mauldin Trash Services now offers pick- up to homes in Gordon, Whitfield and Murray counties.

The business also gradually improved its equipment, trading in the pickup truck to large, automated garbage trucks. They currently offer customers 96- gallon cans to deposit trash, which is scooped up quickly and effectively by Mauldin’s curbside service.

“We started small, but we were able to grow quickly from there,” Mauldin said. “We are just proud and happy to serve the community and provide a service they need.”

When it comes to making the necessary preparations to your residence for the fall and winter months, Mauldin Trash Services can be a great deal of help.

As trash accumulates when cleaning your house or shaping up your property for the upcoming holidays, Mauldin Trash Services is willing to make arrangements to help dispose of any extra extra trash resulting from the holiday preparation if given adequate notification, within reason of course.

Due to the extreme risk of fire, Mauldin also advises those seeking to dispose of fallen leaves, trimmed shrubs or cut grass to not put those items in their Mauldin trash containers, but to give the city a call to help you get rid of them or attempt to find a different method of disposal.
