When Choosing a Septic, Grease Trap or Portable Toilet Company,
Here are Some Things to Consider.

• 

  Founded In 1973

  When choosing a company, you want a business you can count on being there when you need us. Monday through Friday Herring has a fully staffed office, with emergency phone service after hours and on the weekends. Herring has been in business since 1973. That's over 49 years we have been working and living in this community. Herring stands behind our work and will be around to provide supplemental services as you need them.

• 

  Family Run Business

  Herring is owned by the same people that founded it in 1973. Our owners can be found in the office, answering questions on the phone and at the work site. In the last 15 years, our employees have included our children and now grandchildren. Amy and Jason have begun to take over some of the day to day, but Sharon and Jimmy can still be found around the business on a daily basis.

• 

  Budget Conscious

  Herring is budget conscious and doesn't spend your money needlessly. We look at each job and with our expert diagnostic team, we ferret out the problem to avoid doing extra work needlessly. We can't always tell what the problem is immediately, because your system is mostly underground. But we will always be upfront and in communication with you so you can make decisions with the full picture in mind.

• 

  Training is Important

  Herring's staff, including our Field Workers and Pumpers, are trained to get your job done right the first time. We want to feel confident that when we send our team to your home or business, they reflect the mission and commitment to excellence that Herring maintains. Jason and Jimmy train regularly on the best practices and the newest processes in septic, portable toilet and construction work. You can count on Herring employees to do the job right and treat our customers with respect.

• 

  Licensed to Dump

  Herring is a legal company and dumps legally. We are licensed to dump and only use approved dumping locations. We handle all waste based on DEC requirements and are always legal. Our office staff keeps all the paperwork in order and work closely with our Pump Staff when dumping is needed. We know you don't want to think about where the waste goes, but rest assured we are handling it with laws, environmental concerns and DEC requirements in mind.

• 

  Board of Health Approved

  Herring works with the Board of Health and all local town and county agencies to ensure your paperwork is up to date. The Board of Health is an agency that assists us and you in making sure that septic systems in our community are conforming to all DEC requirements to keep us safe from harm. The records they keep assist us and the property owner with locations and updates.  

• 

  Customer Focused

  Herring is focused on our customers first. We know that your septic is something you prefer NOT to think about. So when it's on your mind, it can be a stressful time. We educate our customers on their options, help them make the best decisions and offer quality service at a fair price. Herring works an honest days work for an honest day's pay because we live in this community too. We treat our customers the way we would want to be treated.

•

  Herring covers Dutchess, Putnam, Westchester, Ulster, Orange counties and has locations in Fishkill and Newburgh. You will see our trucks in all the major towns and cities locally, including Poughkeepsie, New Paltz, Kingston, Brewster, Cold Spring, Croton, White Plains and more. We also service farms, large commercial locations and local businesses. Our Portable Toilet division supports local construction sites, farms as well as parks and trails.

So we offer reminders and auto repeat service as needed. In addition, we offer repeat customer discounts as a thank you to our customers for your loyalty.
