E.J. Harrison & Sons Inc. is a family-owned waste management company established in 1932 in Ventura, California. Initially starting with a single truck operated by E.J. Harrison, the company has grown tremendously and now serves approximately 90,000 customers across multiple locations including the cities of Ventura, Camarillo, Ojai, Fillmore, Carpinteria, and unincorporated areas of Ventura County, as well as the Channel Islands Beach Community Services District.
Over nine decades, E.J. Harrison & Sons has maintained its commitment to customer service, celebrating 90 years of operation in 2022 with the mantra 'Service is Everything.' The company's focus has shifted in recent years toward environmental responsibility and recycling, aligning with California's increasing legislative emphasis on waste diversion. To this end, it provides customers with the opportunity to recycle over 20 different materials, such as glass, plastic, metal, paper, and organic waste.
In response to statewide mandates aimed at reducing climate-damaging methane emissions, E.J. Harrison launched an ambitious food waste recycling program as part of its commitment to landfill diversion. The company has remained a leader in California's recycling movement, thanks to unique partnerships with organizations like the Gold Coast Recycling & Transfer Station and Agromin, allowing them to stay ahead of regulatory demands such as Senate Bill 1383.
E.J. Harrison & Sons has received numerous awards over the years for excellence in business and environmental stewardship, including recognitions from various local chambers of commerce and environmental organizations. With a strong legacy rooted in family values and community service, Harrison remains dedicated to serving its community while upholding its promise to do what’s right—for customers, employees, and the planet.
