Mobile Shingle Recycling
As the region’s premier shingle recycler, we process over 150,000 tons of asphalt shingles annually – equivalent to keeping roofing waste from about 75,000 homes out of landfills. Since 2012, our specialized mobile grinding units have served North Carolina and neighboring states, converting used shingles into high-quality material for asphalt production.
Our mobile shingle processing service brings efficiency directly to your roofing project site. Using specialized grinding equipment, we transform torn-off asphalt shingles into Reclaimed Asphalt Shingle (RAS) material that meets strict quality specifications for hot mix asphalt production. This process not only diverts massive amounts of waste from landfills but also provides asphalt plants with a valuable additive that reduces their need for virgin asphalt binder, creating significant cost savings and environmental benefits.
Mobile Materials Screening
Our state-of-the-art screening equipment brings precision material processing directly to your site. Whether you need soil classification, aggregate separation, or custom material processing, our mobile units deliver efficient, cost-effective solutions that save time and reduce transportation costs.
Our mobile screening services include topsoil separation and refinement, removing rocks, roots, and debris to create premium landscaping material. We process fill dirt to remove oversized materials and create consistent grading for construction applications. Our equipment can separate mixed aggregates into specific size fractions, creating multiple sellable products from a single waste stream. We also provide contaminated soil screening to separate clean material from debris, reducing disposal costs and maximizing material recovery.
Concrete & Masonry Recycling
Our mobile concrete crushing and screening operations transform demolished concrete, brick, and masonry materials into valuable construction aggregates. Using powerful crushing equipment, we process everything from sidewalk concrete to large structural elements, producing recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and crushed concrete base materials that meet NCDOT specifications.
We can produce various grades of recycled concrete products including aggregate base course (ABC), concrete sand, drainage stone, and custom-sized materials for specific applications. Our mobile processing eliminates the need for costly transportation to off-site crushing facilities while providing you with high-quality recycled materials for immediate use on your project. All processed materials can be tested and certified to meet engineering specifications when required.
Electronics & E-Waste Recycling
As electronic waste becomes an increasingly critical environmental concern, A-1 Service Group provides comprehensive e-waste recycling services for businesses, institutions, and government agencies. We safely process computers, servers, networking equipment, telecommunications hardware, and industrial electronics while ensuring complete data destruction and regulatory compliance.
Our certified processes include secure data wiping and physical destruction of hard drives, compliance with EPA and state e-waste regulations, proper handling of hazardous materials like mercury and lead, component separation for maximum material recovery, and detailed documentation including certificates of destruction. We work with certified downstream processors to ensure all materials are responsibly recycled, keeping valuable metals and components in the supply chain while preventing toxic materials from entering landfills.
Organic Waste Processing
Our organic waste recycling services transform yard debris, food waste, and other biodegradable materials into valuable soil amendments and mulch products. Using mobile grinding and screening equipment, we process brush, tree limbs, stumps, and clean wood waste into various mulch grades for landscaping applications.
We also operate composting programs that convert organic waste streams into nutrient-rich soil conditioner. Our processing capabilities include brush and limb grinding for mulch production, stump grinding for soil amendment applications, clean wood processing for biomass fuel, leaf and yard debris composting, and custom organic material processing for specific end uses. This service helps businesses and municipalities divert organic waste from landfills while creating valuable products for landscaping and agricultural applications.
Industrial Byproduct Recovery
Many industrial processes generate byproducts that can be recycled into useful materials rather than disposed of as waste. A-1 Service Group works with manufacturers and industrial facilities to identify recovery opportunities and develop custom processing solutions for their specific waste streams.
Our industrial recycling services include metal fabrication scrap processing, packaging material recovery, industrial plastic recycling, and specialty material processing for unique waste streams. We provide comprehensive waste stream analysis to identify recovery opportunities, custom processing solutions for unique materials, market development for recovered products, and complete documentation for regulatory compliance and sustainability reporting.
