A-1 McDuffie Sanitation, founded in 1998 by the McDuffie family, is a waste management company based in Semmes, Alabama. The company was established with the intent to be listed first in the phone book, but it has grown to symbolize more than just sanitation services; it embodies community engagement and a commitment to quality service. CEO Kenneth Havens joined his grandparents in the family business in 2009 and has since evolved the company while maintaining its core values of honoring God and promoting healthy growth.
Over the last two decades, A-1 McDuffie Sanitation has successfully expanded its offerings, servicing both residential and commercial clients, while establishing a reputation for dependability and reliability. In 2014, the company introduced its iconic pink and black carts as part of their mission to give back to the community. Each pink cart purchased supports the American Breast Cancer Society with a five-dollar donation, while the black carts contribute to local nonprofits.
This initiative underscores their belief that they are not just a sanitation company but a people-oriented business that prioritizes community involvement. Additionally, the company prides itself on providing high-quality customer service and has received positive feedback for its dedicated staff. As A-1 McDuffie Sanitation looks to the future, they remain committed to their values and to continuing their legacy of support and service in the areas they serve, including the cities of Laurel, Chickasaw, and Mobile.
