Neighborly Hauling was featured on the cover of Greet East Grand Rapids magazine and in an interview with Voyage Michigan — recognized for driveway-safe dumpster rental, transparent pricing, and locally responsible waste disposal across West Michigan.
Press & Recognition · Grand Rapids, MINeighborly Hauling was recently recognized in not one but two publications — a local magazine serving the East Grand Rapids community and a statewide platform spotlighting small business owners across Michigan. Here’s the story behind both features, and what they reflect about how we operate.
Featured in Greet East Grand Rapids Magazine
Greet East Grand Rapids
March 2025 Cover Feature
The Gray family and Neighborly Hauling were featured on the March 2025 cover of Greet East Grand Rapids — a community magazine serving one of West Michigan’s most active residential neighborhoods.
The feature highlighted Neighborly Hauling’s commitment to the details that matter to EGR homeowners: driveway protection with HDPE Rolliskate™ boards, transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and responsible disposal through Kent County’s transfer and waste-to-energy facilities.
Being featured in a publication specifically serving East Grand Rapids — one of the most detail-conscious communities in the service area — reflects what the business has worked to build from day one.
Interview with Voyage Michigan
Voyage Michigan
Community Highlights — Meet Justin Gray
Voyage Michigan featured founder Justin Gray in their Community Highlights series — a statewide platform that profiles small business owners building something meaningful in their communities.
The interview covers the journey of building a locally owned hauling company: what motivated the start, the challenges of competing with national chains, and how a focus on customer service and professionalism became Neighborly Hauling’s defining edge.
“Being neighborly isn’t just part of our name — it’s how we operate every day.”

Why recognition in these publications matters
These features aren’t awards for existing — they reflect what West Michigan homeowners and contractors actually experience when they rent from Neighborly Hauling. Both publications cover communities that hold their service providers to a high standard. Being named in them means something.
Community Trust
EGR and the Voyage Michigan audience represent the homeowners and professionals who care most about who they hire.
Third-Party Validation
Independent editorial coverage is different from advertising — it reflects what others see when they look at the business from the outside.
Local First
Both features emphasize what it means to be a West Michigan business — not a franchise, not a call center, not a national chain.
A Promise Kept
Recognition like this is a reflection of customers who had a good experience — and told someone about it.
The Neighborly Difference
Driveway-Friendly Delivery
HDPE Rolliskate™ boards under every bin. Your surface protected, included, no exceptions.
Contractor-Sized Bins
12, 17, 21, and 25 yard bins sized for real West Michigan driveways and job sites — not oversized national chain boxes.
Transparent Pricing
No hidden fees. The price you see is the price you pay. Every potential add-on listed publicly before you book.
Local Commitment
Debris hauled to Kent County’s transfer station and waste-to-energy facility. Supporting landfill reduction across the communities we serve.
Being featured in both Greet East Grand Rapids and Voyage Michigan reflects the trust our community places in Neighborly Hauling — and the standard we hold ourselves to every time a bin lands in a driveway. We’re grateful for the recognition and more focused than ever on delivering on the promise: the right dumpster for the right job.
