Watch Ronnie Penny, President of A-1 Service Group, detail the founding of the company from 1979 to present and how they company has grown to be one of the industry leaders in North Carolina in waste, recycling, mobile crushing and roll-off dumpster rental services.
Our History
Founded in 1979, A-1 Service Group is built on history, vision and hard work. We thrive on providing great customer service and aim to conquer every project on time, in a safe environment. We are diverse; serving many sectors ranging from waste, materials and specialty contracting.
1979
Our legacy began in 1979 when Gene Petty recognized an opportunity to supply road contractors with local Sandrock material. After establishing A-1 Sandrock Inc. as a trusted materials supplier, he expanded into waste management by converting his property into a C&D landfill. Under his leadership, the company flourished as a successful waste management operation until its sale in 2002.
2006
In 2006, Ronnie Petty III revived the family legacy by reopening A-1 Sandrock Inc. with a new C&D landfill. Under his leadership, the company expanded beyond its original focus, developing comprehensive capabilities in waste management, recycling, mobile crushing and grinding operations, and construction material sales. This strategic growth positioned A-1 as a versatile service provider across multiple industrial sectors.
2011
Building on their success, the company established Absolute Recycling Contractors LLC in 2011, expanding into residential and commercial waste hauling. A strategic acquisition of the Overdale Road Transfer Station in 2020 further strengthened their market position in Winston-Salem, adding both MSW and C&D transfer capabilities along with concrete recycling operations. These expansions significantly enhanced the company’s ability to provide comprehensive waste management solutions across the region.
2023
In 2023, A-1 Sandrock Inc., founded in 1979, merged with its sister companies under the unified name A-1 Service Group. This consolidation brought together the legacy of A-1 Sandrock’s material supply and C&D operations, established by Gene Petty and expanded by Ronnie Petty III since 2006, with Absolute Recycling Contractors’ waste hauling services founded in 2011. The merger unites decades of industry experience, two strategic locations including the Overdale Road Transfer Station acquired in 2020, and a comprehensive suite of services spanning waste management, recycling, material sales, and specialty contracting.

“We’re not just looking for employees – we’re looking for team members who share our commitment to safety, service, and excellence. At A-1, you’re joining a family that values your contribution and invests in your success.”
