Harold LeMay’s Humble Beginnings

We’re all familiar with the expression “One person’s trash is another one’s treasure.” In the case of the late Harold LeMay, along with his wife Nancy, the trash led to the treasure. Washingtonians Mr. and Mrs. LeMay made their considerable fortune in the commercial waste management business – trash trucks. As is so typical of many uber-successful entrepreneurs, it all came from humble beginnings. Mr. LeMay began his business with a single trash truck. Which of course became two. Which then became many.
