Our Story
Serving Alabama Families and Businesses Since 1957
Meeks Environmental Services has been a family-owned and family-operated business for more than six decades — a rarity in any industry. What started as a local waste removal operation has grown into a full-service company with a fleet of trucks, each staffed by a professional two-man crew, covering residential, commercial, and municipal clients across North Central Alabama. Our longevity isn’t accidental: it’s built on honest work, qualified crews, and a commitment to showing up on time and solving the problem right the first time.
Our History
A Bit of History
Meeks Environmental Services, LLC is a family owned business celebrating more than 65 years of exceptional service in central Alabama. Bobby Meeks started the business in 1957 while he was an Alabama State Trooper.
As the demand for a reliable septic service business grew along with the population, Bobby left his position as a trooper and went into the pumping business full time. He was also a founding member of the Alabama Septic Tank Association.
Bobby’s son Steve served as president of the association, which is now known as the Alabama Onsite Wastewater Association, from 1991 to 1993. Steve is now a part time instructor for the association.
Bobby retired in 1998, leaving the daily operation to Steve and his daughter MaryKay. In 2023, Steve and MaryKay both retired and the business is operated by a team of professionals, led by Steve’s son, Jon, who has taken over the business.
