      About Gone For Good

      We’re changing the conversation about shredding franchise opportunities with a business model that makes a real difference

      Some aspects of the business world are changing rapidly: Today, companies need secure, reliable solutions to help them manage e-waste recycling and secure document destruction more than ever before.

      And some things never change: Everyone, regardless of their abilities, wants and deserves the chance to find meaningful employment that allows them to work and live with dignity and satisfaction.

      Gone For Good serves both these needs.

      Critical business services combined with a community spirit

      We offer essential services to businesses in both private and public sectors, providing innovative, safe, and responsible solutions for secure document destruction and electronic waste recycling.

      We combine that with a commitment to providing employment for adults with physical and intellectual disabilities. Our approach helps individuals improve their quality of life, have pride in the work they do and gain valuable skills.

      Gone For Good president Abe Bernstein and our franchise team have dedicated themselves to building a brand centered around a vital business need and powered by the belief that all people should have the opportunity to contribute.

      Our start

      We started as an a program of the non-profit organization formerly United Cerebral Palsy of Greater Birmingham, now known as United Ability. The organization’s primary mission for over 76 years has been empowering adults with physical, developmental, and intellectual abilities live full and meaningful lives. Part of that is finding meaningful employment.

      In 2006, the “green” economy was just starting to boom, and with it came a rising demand for secure document and e-waste destruction and recycling services. Gone For Good was created to fill that need and change the way businesses think about social responsibility as well.

      Moving into the future
      Today, as green solutions are becoming a business necessity in almost every industry, Gone For Good is positioned as a brand with the experience, talent, and drive to provide recycling and secure destruction care to companies nationwide through well-vetted franchises.
