The Thrush's began operations in 1945 when Bob Thrush's grandfather, Frank Thrush, started it as a septic tank cleaning business. In 1961, Thrush expanded its services and introduced a line of homemade portable restrooms for construction customers. The portable restroom inventory has since grown from 10 to over 800.

The company continued to grow into the late 1990's, when Thrush began offering roll-off dumpsters for construction debris and clean-ups. These containers range from a 20 - to 40 yard capacity. Businesses in need of trash containers also can take advantage of Thrush's commercial service. The containers range from a 2 - to 10 yard capacity. Two new items in their rental inventory were introduced in 1995, (mobile office trailers and on-site storage containers). In 2008, Thrush sanitation became afiliated with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 722.

Just recently, Thrush began offering curbside pick-up to residents in the Ottawa area, and owner Bob Thrush said there's been a tremendous response in the last year. Because Thrush Sanitation is locally owned and operated customers, both in the residential and commercial communities, can expect a quick response to their needs. "When you call us, a human being will answer the phone" said Bob, who owns and operates the business with his wife Pam, Their sons, Nick Thrush and Chris Thrush, are the General Managers. Thrush Sanitation utilizes late-model, dependable equipment, offers competitive prices, if not the lowest in the area. Senior citizen discounts are also available. Customers such as the elderly or disabled, can also request back door pick-up in the event that they cannot transport their trash to the curb themselves.

Thrush Sanitation is a truly hometown business. All of their employees live in the area. Also, all of the company's business, including the purchase of fuel and clothes, is done locally.
