About the Gone For Good Recycling Business for Sale
Brand Story
A Recycling Franchise Opportunity That Empowers Communities
Empowering Communities Through a Recycling Franchise Opportunity
As demand for secure document destruction continues to rise, Gone For Good stands out as a recycling franchise opportunity that delivers both trusted services and meaningful social impact. Unlike traditional shredding businesses, this model blends secure paper and e-waste recycling with a mission to uplift local communities.
We’re redefining what it means to invest in a shredding or recycling franchise opportunity, offering a business that not only protects sensitive information but also creates real change.
In today’s fast-evolving business landscape, companies urgently need secure and compliant recycling solutions, especially for e-waste and sensitive documents. But while the world of business is changing fast, some values remain constant. Everyone deserves the opportunity to work with dignity, regardless of their abilities.
Gone For Good brings both worlds together: a strong business model and a powerful social mission. It’s one of the most purposeful recycling franchise opportunities available today.
Gone For Good serves both these needs.
A Shredding Franchise That Combines Security and Purpose
Our model goes beyond typical paper shredding franchises by combining essential business services with a mission of empowering adults with disabilities through meaningful employment.
We provide innovative, safe, and responsible solutions for secure document destruction and electronic waste recycling to businesses in both the private and public sectors. At the same time, our commitment to creating job opportunities for adults with physical and intellectual disabilities helps individuals improve their quality of life, take pride in their work, and gain valuable skills.

Gone For Good President Abe Bernstein
Gone For Good president Abe Bernstein and our recycling 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 began as a program of the non-profit organization formerly known as United Cerebral Palsy of Greater Birmingham, now United Ability. For over 76 years, their mission has been to empower adults with physical, developmental, and intellectual disabilities to live full and meaningful lives—partly by helping them find meaningful employment.
In 2006, the green economy was just starting to boom. With it came a rising demand for secure document and e-waste destruction. Gone For Good was created to fill that need—and to open new recycling business opportunities that also promote social responsibility.
Moving into the Future
Today, as green solutions become a necessity across industries, Gone For Good is positioned as a brand with the experience, talent, and drive to deliver secure, sustainable services nationwide through our well-vetted franchise model.
