AJ McDonald Company, Inc., established in 1941, is a family-owned septic cleaning service based in Pasadena, Maryland. The company began when A.J. McDonald was encouraged by a cousin to enter the septic cleaning industry, utilizing grants from the health department to start his business amidst the challenges of World War II.
