Abbey Green is recycling, recovery, and transfer station for construction and industrial debris. We are conveniently located 5 minutes from downtown Winston Salem. Our average turn-around time for a truck from the scalehouse window to leaving our facility is less than seven minutes.

Abbey Green will guarantee a recycling rate of more than 75% on all incoming debris and more than 70% on mixed C&D. Abbey Green can achieve higher percentages when the contractor is willing to use certain materials, presort at site, or cooperate in handling difficult to recycle commodities like carpet, insulation, contaminated plastics, shrink wrap, and paper. The overall percentage is easily audited since Abbey Green scales all inbound and outbound loads.

For LEEDS certification and Green Building projects Abbey Green visually screens each individual load after tipping and produces a recycling estimate by commodity
