A Name Rooted in Plymouth Heritage
The name "1620" is not a random number. It is the year the Mayflower landed in Plymouth Harbor, marking the founding of one of America's oldest communities. We chose this name because 1620 Sanitation is built on the same foundation as Plymouth itself: hard work, community, and doing what you say you will do.
This is not a franchise dispatching trucks from hours away. We are a Plymouth company, headquartered on S Meadow Rd, serving the homeowners and businesses who make up our community. When you call 1620 Sanitation, you are calling your neighbor.
Our Mission, Values, and Commitment
Every decision at 1620 Sanitation comes back to the same question: would we want this done at our own home? That standard shapes how we price, how we schedule, and how we treat every customer.
1620 Sanitation exists to provide reliable, honest septic and sanitation services to homeowners and businesses across southeastern Massachusetts. We believe that essential services like septic pumping, drain cleaning, and grease trap maintenance should come with straightforward pricing, responsive scheduling, and the accountability that only an owner-operated company can deliver.
Our mission is simple: answer the phone, show up on time, price fairly, and do the job right. These principles are personal — Michael Maher put his name on every one of them, and 1620 Sanitation carries that commitment into every septic pump-out, every drain clearing, and every grease trap service call.
Credentials, Licensing, and Insurance
Trust is not built on promises. It is built on verifiable credentials, proper licensing, and the accountability that comes with putting your name on the business. Here is what backs every 1620 Sanitation service call.
Locally Permitted Septage Hauler
Septage hauler permits in Massachusetts are issued by each town's Board of Health under Title 5 (310 CMR 15.000). We maintain valid BOH permits in every community we serve and dispose of all septage at MassDEP-permitted treatment facilities.

That is the difference between a company that serves a market and a company that serves a community.
