Ever Green Recycling of Greenville and Corporate Recycling Solutions LLC of Greenville have merged, keeping the Ever Green Recycling name.
The new company will be led by Corporate Recycling Solutions founder and president Rob Eney, while Ever Green Recycling founder Elizabeth Garrison-Rasor will move into a consulting role. The new company’s footprint now extends from Anderson County to Cherokee County.
Garrison-Rasor founded Ever Green in in 2007, and Eney opened Corporate Recycling in 2009, occasionally competing for the same clients.
“We went against each other a couple times,” Eney said. “I won a few and [Garrison-Rasor] won a few. It was always friendly competition.”
Both companies focused on single-stream recycling, which means customers do not have to sort discarded materials. Eney said both had also concentrated on expanding businesses’ existing recycling programs.
“As far as coming together, I think it was just a natural fit. [Garrison-Rasor] had wanted to pursue other interests and my company was growing.”
The new company is located on White Horse Road. Eney said it would process an estimated 2 million pounds of trash this year. It provides commercial recycling services to about 250 organizations, including small offices and large industrial and manufacturing companies. Ever Green Recycling also holds educational training for companies on how and what to recycle.
