Unity Southern Environmental

History

Recognized as a leader in waste and recycling services, the Unity brand was established in Maryland in 1996 with the founding of Unity Disposal and Recycling, LLC. Unity provides trash collection, recycling and other waste management services to communities from Maryland to Georgia. The formation of the company was the result of two independent waste industry entrepreneurs joining forces to combine their skills, resources and experience to bring competitive waste solutions to Government, Commercial and Residential clients in construction, hospitality, retail, restaurant, and other industries.

Several years ago the Unity brand was extended into the South with the establishment of Unity of the Carolinas, Inc. serving North and soon to serve South Carolina, and Unity Southern Environmental, Inc. currently serving Atlanta, Georgia, and soon to serve Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Louisiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Arkansas. At Unity one of our mottos is “Keeping the Green in your Community”, from residential and commercial trash collection, bulk trash and yard waste service, dual/single-stream recycling programs, roll-off services to the utilization of compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles. Unity Southern Environmental and Unity of the Carolinas continues to partner with communities in the southern region developing and delivering environmentally sound waste and recycling solutions.

Our Vision

Our Company has been community focused since its inception. Our primary goal is to develop and deliver environmentally focused waste and recycling solutions. We do that in partnership with the communities in which we serve. Unity is not just our name; it is one of our founding principles. The foundation of our culture is teamwork, employees working together to deliver results for our customers, in collaboration with the people in the communities we serve. At Unity, our employees live and our facilities are located in these communities. We make it a point to work with local vendors and businesses that help us ensure we deliver professional, safe, and courteous waste and recycling services.

Residential Recycling

At Unity, we offer a single stream recycling program allowing our customers to comingle recyclable materials in one container. Customers can mix paper products, cardboard, aluminum cans, plastic bottles and containers, etc. in the same bin and bring it curbside on collection day for pickup. Our goal is to make it easier for the public to recycle, which has contributed to increased recycling levels in the communities we serve. We know that recycling has a direct and positive impact on our environment and helps keep our communities green!Look for our staff will in your community participating in events and providing educational information on the benefits of recycling.

Commercial Recycling

Businesses have a great opportunity to recycle given the large amounts of recyclable materials they generate.  Unity works with businesses to develop a recycling program unique to their business. The recycling program will be based on types of materials recycled, volume produced, size of containers needed to store materials, program type; single stream or dual stream and days of collection.  We encourage businesses to join us and help keep the green in our communities!
