Meet our President
Meet Abe Bernstein, Gone For Good Franchise, LLC President
Abe Bernstein and Gone For Good believe that being a responsible community leader means helping others find meaning in their lives. It’s driven the brand’s development from the beginning.
Gone For Good is affiliated with the not-for-profit organization formerly named United Cerebral Palsy of Greater Birmingham and now named United Ability, which has been finding employment for adults with disabilities for more than 75 years. In 2006, United Ability saw a need for a business that helped clients dispose of their secure documents, and outdated or broken electronics, and Gone For Good was born.
Today, the rapid development of the green economy alongside increasing attention to business security concerns has helped Gone For Good establish itself as a commercial brand and an exciting franchise opportunity.
Giving people with disabilities a chance to find fulfilling employment never goes out of style, and Gone For Good leads the charge.
