Martin Environmental Services names new president and CEO

Martin Environmental Services Inc., Dothan, Alabama, announced June 16 that Brandon Hurst has been promoted to president and CEO. Hurst is the stepson of founder Jim Martin, who started Martin Environmental Services 20 years ago.

Martin Environmental is a waste and recycling services company that provides solid waste, fiber recycling and portable toilet solutions to thousands of customers throughout Alabama, northwest Florida and southwest Georgia.

Hurst officially joined the company in 2009, and since that time, has held many roles within the organization. In 2018, he purchased controlling interest of the company as part of the organization’s succession plan.

Martin says that “this has been the plan all along. Brandon has been running the business with me for a long time, and over the last few years, has taken over most responsibilities. The way he treats our employees and customers is beyond anything I could have hoped for. I am excited about our future under his leadership."
