Trusted Waste Removal & Recycling Services in Bessemer
Moore Coal is a fourth-generation family-owned business established in 1929. Our legacy began with James Ernest Moore, Sr., who founded the company as a retail-wholesale coal operation. Under James E. Moore, Jr.'s leadership after World War II, we expanded into scrap metal and recycling services. In 1969, we introduced commercial garbage services to fill a critical market need, evolving into a comprehensive waste management provider. Today, we offer front load and rolloff containers, recycling solutions, compactors, and specialized waste handling for businesses and construction sites. Judy Moore Mathis, representing the third generation, brings decades of industry expertise to our operations.We maintain our commitment to innovation while preserving the values of family stewardship. Our services now include LEED-certified waste handling and tire disposal solutions. With over 90 years of experience, we serve the Birmingham metro area with tailored waste management programs. Our facilities support baling cardboard, newspaper, and plastic while maintaining a licensed scrap yard for metals. We remain dedicated to sustainable practices that benefit both our clients and the environment.
