I can't believe I put up with the headache of GFL for so long. Since switching to JMT Sanitation my trash hasn't been missed a single week. And they roll my can back up to my porch, which is not necessary, but is greatly appreciated!

Will forever recommend these guys. We work 24/7 and forgot to put our can by the road — they dumped it from behind our fence anyway. They tuck it back when we DO remember. You won't get that from the big companies.

I had my pick-up day confused and my bin was near my garage, not on the roadside — a good 75' away. The driver actually came up to the garage to get the bin and dumped it. Great service!

I can't thank you enough. He got the can and dragged it through deep snow and then put it back. My husband was so surprised. Much appreciated! You guys are the best.

About JMT Sanitation
JMT Sanitation started in Harbor Springs with one truck and a willingness to take care of the jobs the big haulers overlooked. It did not take long for local homeowners and businesses to notice.
We are family-owned, locally driven, and still focused on the same simple things: show up when we say we will, pick up what we said we would, and answer the phone when you call.
Today, we service Emmet County four days a week, including Harbor Springs, Petoskey, Levering, Brutus, Cross Village, and the surrounding areas. We accept credit cards, do not lock customers into long contracts, and keep service personal.
The big haulers chase volume. We take care of our customers.
By 7 AM. You'll be notified what day your area gets picked up when you sign up — or check the map to see your day.
