Shirley Septic Pumping, LLC Completes Acquisition by South Platte Services
Shirley Septic Pumping, LLC Joins South Platte Services
In a significant shift within the waste management and septic service industry, Shirley Septic Pumping, LLC has announced today that it will officially join South Platte Services, expanding the latter's portfolio of community-focused services. This transition not only marks a new chapter for Shirley Septic but also clarifies its operational structure within the South Platte family of companies, offering a more streamlined experience for local residents.
Based in Pine, Colorado, the Atkinson family runs both Shirley Septic and South Platte Services. After taking over operations in 2022 from the original Shirley family, Doug and Nora Atkinson have led efforts to not just sustain but grow the company's presence in the region. The Shirley family, while no longer involved with the septic service, continues to run its long-established SSP Waste, further ensuring the community's needs are met across multiple waste management avenues.
As part of the company’s operational reorganization, South Platte Services will manage three distinct divisions: South Platte Waste, focusing on solid waste operations such as commercial and roll-off dumpster services; South Platte Portables, dedicated to portable restroom rentals; and South Platte Septic, which encompasses all septic pumping, servicing, installation, and repair tasks. Crucially, the name Shirley Septic may still linger in some form, acknowledging its rich legacy that has spanned over five decades.
Doug Atkinson elaborated on this decision, stating, "This is not a change of ownership but a much-needed clarification. Our goal is to reduce confusion within the communities we serve and correspondingly present a suite of services that reflects our growth ambitions in this area.” His focus on maintaining strong relationships with local communities highlights their commitment to providing essential infrastructure services that many residents rely on daily.
The transition to the new branding is anticipated to take between four to six months, initiating with the South Platte Waste and South Platte Portables divisions. To stay updated, residents are encouraged to visit www.southplatteservices.com or to reach out directly at 303-838-6033 for any service inquiries or assistance.
Over the years, Shirley Septic Pumping has built a solid reputation by delivering reliable septic services, portable restroom rentals, and solid waste management solutions while ensuring customer satisfaction remains a top priority. Initially established in 1972 with just a single truck, it has blossomed into a pivotal player within the local industry. Today, it operates a fleet of more than a dozen trucks with a dedicated team of around twenty employees, servicing areas including Evergreen, Morrison, Conifer, Bailey,, and Pine, among other neighboring locations within Park, Jefferson, and Clear Creek counties.
As South Platte Services embarks on this new journey, the groundwork laid by Shirley Septic Pumping is sure to remain a vital part of their operations. Customers can expect the same high-quality service and commitment to excellence that Shirley Septic has provided throughout its enduring history. The future appears bright for both companies as they continue to respond to the community’s needs and infrastructure challenges head-on.
