Carl F. Cavossa, Jr., Excavating, Inc.

Carl F. Cavossa, Jr., Excavating, Inc. — trading together with Cavossa Disposal Corporation as The Cavossa Companies — is a family-owned Cape Cod business based in East Falmouth, run by Carl F. Cavossa Jr. and his wife Kristen since 1993. The excavation side handles septic system installation and repair, foundation digging, and general site work for local homes and businesses, while the disposal side, added in the early 2000s, runs residential and commercial trash collection, recycling, dumpster rentals, and its own construction-and-demolition transfer station on Cape Cod. The one detailed customer account on record is a striking one: a Google reviewer describes calling on short notice to bury a family horse, and says the crew showed up with a backhoe and volunteered their own time after hours to help. It speaks to how the company treats a customer in a bind, even though it isn't a typical septic or excavation job. Beyond that single review, the public record is thin. The Better Business Bureau lists the company as not accredited with a B- rating, citing one complaint the business did not respond to — worth asking about directly before booking. Google shows a 5-star average, but from only four ratings, and no other platform shows a body of feedback to weigh against it. Anyone hiring either the excavation or the disposal side of the business would do well to ask for references given how little written feedback exists, and to confirm current pricing and scheduling directly, since neither is documented anywhere public. For Cape Cod homeowners needing septic work, site excavation, or a dumpster for a project, this is a long-tenured local operation, but one with a small public track record to lean on.
