Pleasanton Garbage Service has been through many challenges over the years. Tony and Bob knew they would run out of landfill space and that they needed to provide a place for residential garbage. In 1976, the transfer station was built. It was the first one in Alameda County. In 1984, an automated collection service was introduced to decrease job-related injuries as well as the time needed to serve the ever-growing population. 1991 saw the implementation of the Material Recovery Facility (MRF).

Today's challenges include further reduction of the waste stream through recycling and source reduction. Pleasanton Garbage Service is committed to growing with the community. PGS is still a locally owned and operated business that considers the community part of our expanding family. The issues and concerns that affect you, affect us.

Pleasanton Garbage Service, Inc has been a long-standing member of the Pleasanton Chamber of Commerce and has received the Community Development Award.
