2024 Year in Review with Ellefson Transportation Group
As 2024 draws to a close, we at Ellefson Transportation Group are excited to reflect on a year filled with growth, service, and community support. We are truly thankful for the opportunity to serve our community and continue building on our legacy of excellence across our diverse business lines. Here’s a look back at some of our key highlights and successes.
ADSI Moving Systems: Serving with Excellence
This year, our team at ADSI Moving Systems had the honor of assisting some of Augusta’s most renowned businesses and organizations with their logistics and office moves. Our dedication to supporting local government and military personnel remains as strong as ever, providing them with top-notch, customer-focused relocation services.
A standout moment for us was receiving rave reviews from a delighted customer, Genesis E.:
Augusta Data Storage: A Trusted Partner
Augusta Data Storage has continued its reign as the go-to shredding partner for businesses and individuals throughout Augusta. We are proud of the trust our clients place in us, and we’re committed to maintaining the highest standards of service as we head into 2025.
This year, we collected 2,420,000 pounds, or 1,210 tons, of paper, all of which was recycled. To put that into perspective, every ton of recycled paper saves 17 trees, 7,000 gallons of water, 380 gallons of oil, and 3 cubic yards of landfill space!
Pollock Company: Hard Drive Mass Destruction
When Matt Dyches from Pollock Company reached out about getting rid of over 500 hard drives, we got right to it. In a couple of hours, we inventoried all the serial numbers and securely destroyed the drives, ensuring everything was in line with NAID standards. Plus, we made sure the material was fully recycled. It was a rewarding project, and we appreciated collaborating with a great partner like Pollock Company.
Children’s Place: Records Shredding, Move & Storage
After 16 years in one location, Children’s Place, Inc. had quite the collection of documents to deal with when they decided to move. We shredded over 3,000 pounds of paper, provided offsite storage for more than 100 boxes, and facilitated the move of all their furniture, fixtures, and equipment to their new facility.
Augusta University: File Relocation
When Augusta University needed to temporarily move and store over 8,000 pounds of files, we stepped in with our 8-drawer library carts. The project went off without a hitch, keeping all files in order and finishing ahead of schedule, much to our customer’s satisfaction.
Go Mini’s of Augusta and Columbia: Expanding Horizons
Since expanding to Columbia in 2022, our Go Mini’s business line has been on a roll! With a container fleet now up to 327 units, we’ve been able to deliver 521 containers to customers across 30 counties in 2024. This growth means we’re more equipped than ever to offer flexible storage and moving solutions, providing our customers with the space they need, whenever they need it.
redbox+ Dumpsters: Building Excitement
Launched in late 2023, redbox+ Dumpsters has quickly become one of the most exciting additions to the ETG family. Our unique waste removal service brings a breath of fresh air to local construction crews, developers, home DIY-ers, and existing partners in restoration and remediation. With a fleet of 38 containers and 24 local companies served, redbox+ is paving the way for enhanced waste management solutions in our community.
Blue Kangaroo Packoutz: A Fresh Addition
In Summer 2024, we launched Blue Kangaroo Packoutz, our latest business venture dedicated to the packout and restoration of household contents, furniture, and more. This service provides expert care in restoring items after catastrophic events, from antiques and furniture to documents and electronics. As we continue to grow, we are excited about the potential of Blue Kangaroo Packoutz to become a key player in restoration services in Augusta, providing peace of mind to our clients.
Supporting the Community: The Impact of Hurricane Helene
When Hurricane Helene hit, our community felt the impact deeply. Team ETG was proud to stand by our neighbors during these tough times. Our teams have been working around the clock to provide the support and services needed to help locals and businesses tackle the aftermath of the storm.
Whether it’s providing storage solutions from Go Mini’s, restoration services from Blue Kangaroo Packoutz, or waste management from redbox+ Dumpters, we are here to lend a hand. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of our team, we have been able to offer a one-stop-shop for homeowners and businesses as they start out on the road to recovery.
Looking Ahead
As we reflect on 2024, we are filled with gratitude for the trust and support of our clients and community. We are excited to continue growing and serving with excellence in the years to come, expanding our offerings and services to meet the evolving needs of our customers. We can’t wait to carry this momentum into 2025, continuing to innovate, grow, and serve with the same passion that has made us a leader in our industry.
From all of us at Team ETG, thank you for being part of our journey. We’re looking forward to a bright 2025, filled with new opportunities and even greater community impact!
