Eco-Friendly Bulk Hauling & Port Transportation Services
Founded in 1966, Ecology Transportation Services began as a pioneering 'do-it-yourself' auto wrecking business with a focus on cleanliness and customer service. Over five decades, we evolved into one of the largest eco-friendly trucking companies in Southern California and Arizona, specializing in bulk waste, recycling, and container transportation. Our family-owned business maintains strict environmental standards while operating a fleet of CARB-compliant vehicles, including 100% compressed natural gas trucks. With over 600 trucks and 970 trailers, we serve waste management companies, municipalities, and manufacturers across the Western United States. Our commitment to innovation includes patented processes for hazardous waste transport and a private 4.5-mile rail spur for efficient transloading operations.We maintain transfer stations compliant with state environmental regulations and operate a 10-acre storage facility in Wilmington, CA. Our team of industry veterans, including third-generation family members, ensures reliable service for time-sensitive deliveries to the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. We specialize in moving agricultural products, construction materials, and industrial minerals through bulk freight solutions. Our environmental stewardship extends to hauling millions of pounds of recyclables annually while maintaining OSHA-compliant safety protocols for employees. Today, we remain dedicated to providing sustainable transportation solutions that balance operational efficiency with ecological responsibility.

Report
Very unprofessional and unfair company!! One of their drivers by the name of Salvador Bauelos hit me from behind in his huge cargo truck while driving on the freeway,, he ripped off my rear bumper, he apologized and told me to not worry that ecology insurance would cover all damages so I submit the claim and get a letter by mail 2 week after saying that the driver stated that I invaded his lane and that I had caused the accident, Really??? So I contacted and called back the agents involved: Sara Ortega and Crystal Marin who were extremely rude and unprofessional did not listen to me ofcourse

Not only they charge fee to look around, no inventory kept and the place is dirty. It's an unsafe place to search for old parts. The wife Donna is super mean. For nickle & dime she will suit and take you to court, be careful. Not worthy the time & risk to tangle with few dollars of savings.
