1/10/13 - A family-owned trash and recycling hauler has acquired the residential and commercial customers of another centered in Livingston County. Superior Sanitation has been serving Livingston County and the surrounding areas for over 25 years but its residential and commercial customers were recently acquired by Lyon Township-based Duncan Disposal Systems. Customers should be receiving letters this weekend notifying them of the changes. President Tom Duncan operates the business with two of his four sons and says this marks their 40th year serving general area. He says they took over Superiorâs commercial customers a few years ago but just recently took over all residential servicing. Duncan says theyâre in the process of notifying customers and everything came about so quickly, they really didnât get a chance to inform them right when they switched and took over the routes. Duncan tells WHMI there will be no changes in service and notes they were already servicing the same neighborhoods. He says theyâll eventually be making some route changes to consolidate customers, resulting in less truck traffic on streets. Superior Sanitation customers will also be offered curbside recycling. Duncan says he had been looking to grow his business and one could consider the two somewhat friendly competitors over the years, so he approached the owner of Superior about parting with some or all of its business. He says employment was offered to all personnel at Superior and about ten transferred over. A copy of the letter Superior customers should be receiving soon can be found in the attachment below. (JM)
