Iredell Recycling
9925 Metromont Industrial Blvd, Charlotte, North Carolina, United States

Benfield Sanitation Services was founded in 1958 by James Benfield, the father of current owner, Jeff Benfield.  BSS started as one man and one truck doing residential pickup in Iredell County and today has grown to over 50 employees with operations in 10 counties and 38 cities.  Celebrating more than 50 years of continuous and dedicated solid waste service says a lot about who we are.

While we have steadily grown and evolved in both residential and commercial services, we have never lost sight of James Benfield’s number one principle; “Our customers are our number one priority.”  Our longstanding reputation of Quality, Reliability and Customer Satisfaction is second to none.  Whether you are an individual, business or municipal, our goal is the same, to provide you with the absolute best customer care in the industry while adhering to all federal, state and county solid waste collection and disposal guidelines and regulations.

The recycling Division of BSS has grown tremendously since the early days when our major focus was providing cardboard collection service to commercial clients. In 2010, we contracted with our first municipal recycling customer to offer city-wide, single stream curbside collection services. Residents are provided with a 95-gallon rollout cart which is collected by our fully automated, side load truck, further increasing the efficiency of our services.
Benfield Sanitation Services opened our Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) under the name Iredell Recycling, LLC in Mooresville, NC during September of 2011. The state of the art 30000 square foot facility is situated on 6.5 acres which allows for future expansion of approximately 22,000 square feet of processing and storage space.
The facility currently employs 10 people and is capable of processing up to 63,000 tons of single-stream recyclables per year. Materials which are accepted and processed by the MRF are plastic containers #1-7, aluminum and steel cans, newspapers, magazines, cardboard, mixed paper, plastic film and glass. With the potential for future expansion of our operations, we are exploring the possibility of adding other materials such as e-waste, wood pallets and aggregates to our recycling list.The construction of the MRF with its high-tech processing equipment, will enable us to increase both our collection and processing capacity, as well as more efficiently sort single-stream recyclables from our customers.

We are pleased to offer:

• Courteous, safe drivers
• Environmentally sound waste disposal
• Affordable rates
• A professional customer service team
• On call, bulk item collection
