Shirley Septic Pumping, LLC to Join South Platte Services

PINE, Colo., June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Shirley Septic Pumping, LLC ("Shirley Septic") announced today that it will be joining South Platte Services and its family of companies.

Doug and Nora Atkinson, owners of South Platte Services, have also owned Shirley Septic since 2022 when they relocated to Pine and purchased it from the Shirley Family, long-term residents of the area. The Shirley Family continues to own and operate their residential trash services company SSP Waste and its affiliates.

Initially, South Platte Services will operate as three divisions. South Platte Waste will be the name of the company's solid waste activities, specifically the commercial and roll-off dumpster divisions. South Platte Portables will include the company's portable restroom rentals. South Platte Septic will include septic pumping, servicing, installation and repair, and may retain the name Shirley Septic in some form, a division of the previous company of the same name which has been serving the area for over 50 years.

Doug Atkinson commented, "This is not a change of ownership but rather a clarification, the reasons for which are twofold. It is to help alleviate confusion in the community between the two organizations and to provide our suite of services with a name that better reflects our growth plans within the region. We look forward to continuing our relationships with the communities and counties in which we operate to provide these critical infrastructure services."

Transition to the South Platte Services name and logo is expected to take four to six months, beginning with South Platte Waste and South Platte Portables. For more information, please visit www.southplatteservices.com or call 303-838-6033.
