Our story
Owned and run here in Ellijay
Cantrell's Garbage Service is a family, locally owned and operated garbage service based in Ellijay. Owner Ricky Cantrell and the crew have been keeping Gilmer County clean for more than 25 years.
We handle household trash, commercial pickup, roll-off dumpsters and bulky items. When you call or text, you reach someone local who knows these roads.
The crew & the fleet
Look for the purple bobcat
Our trucks and green roll-off dumpsters carry the purple bobcat logo. When winter hits and the mountain roads ice over, the crew is still out running the route.
Out in all weather
