Raising the Bar
At Apple Tree Companies, our goal is to raise the bar. From the services we provide to customers, to the quality and clarity of our communications, to industry waste management practices, we ask ourselves: “What does it look like to do it better?”
A History of Integrity
Our team brings generations of experience in waste handling, built on a tradition of quality, community-focused service. Individually and as a company, we hold our actions and motivations to a higher standard. For us, this means more than just getting a job done or collecting a paycheck — this is about creating a better place to live, for our own families and for the people of Marion County.
Values That Run in the Family
Your Home is Our Home
We want nothing more than the cleanest, healthiest neighborhoods because we live here too! And we know that true success happens when we look out for each other. So whether it’s everyday waste pickup, supporting a local festival, or an emergency cleanup — the people, places, and events in our community are our top priority.
Simply Here to Serve
We love the work we do. But we don’t need the spotlight (and we don’t take ourselves too seriously). While we strive to make a positive and impactful difference, we never forget that we’re just one among many services needed to keep our community running. Recognizing our role within this broader scope keeps us working hard for everyone that works hard for us.
Driving Toward a Brighter Future
More than a value, this is a personal responsibility: to leave our beloved Oregon, and the rest of the world, better than we found it. That’s why we’re committed to making thoughtful investments in environmentally conscious technology and disposal methods while keeping our customer’s rates stable — caring for our neighbors and our natural resources.
You Can Count On Us
Trust isn’t something that you purchase or acquire. It’s earned. The roots of our companies go back generations, founded by folks who earned this community’s trust and maintained it for decades. We know what that’s worth, and we want to continue to meet and exceed the expectations they set.
The Apple Tree Companies
Waste and recycling franchises have thrived in Oregon for decades. And here in Marion County, our spirit of collaboration is especially strong. In partnership with county and city governments, we work to care for our communities. This means our neighbors can enjoy a system that provides innovative, high-quality, environmentally conscious services with stable rates and excellent local customer support.
Apple Tree is proud to be part of this system, supporting our communities through our various companies and bringing you top-notch, locally-owned service to meet your waste disposal needs.
