History of Granger

Our story begins in the early 1960s when a construction company operated by the Granger brothers needed a way to handle the waste materials from its job sites. Through innovation and planned growth, this small waste hauling operation evolved into a comprehensive environmental management service company. A third generation family-owned and operated business, Granger is based in Lansing, Michigan.
