HUDSON WARNER

As a young boy, Hudson helped his father unload other people’s trash from the back of their truck into the dump. Hudson eventually went into the trash hauling business with his father Henry and brother Malloy. Hudson remebered how his father worked very hard and stressed education.

Hudson got involved in the hauling business in 1955 but left in 1967. He really didn’t like that type of work. He ended up giving his route to his brother Malloy and took a maintenance job at the Bethlehem Steel.

MALLOY WARNER

“It wasn’t easy for a black person to prosper in business,” says Malloy Warner who encountered several incidents of racism while on the job. 

Malloy stayed with the business  and garnered several large accounts : Food Fai, Bethlehem Steel, Air Products and Dixie Cup. When he started hauling for Food Fair, Malloy was concerned whether the store managers would accept him, but they did. There was one instance of sabotage where too large of materials and excess trash were thrown across the lot on purpose.

Malloy was also president of the Bethlehem Trash Collectors Association.

After Malloy retired that was the end of Hudson Hauling.
