— BDC Business Hub · Memphis, TN
A scaled recycling and logistics operation rooted in Binghampton. Employees facing barriers to employment are hired into full-time, paid transitional jobs — and surrounded with on-the-job training and wraparound support designed tomove them toward lasting employment.
Recovering What Gets Discarded. Restoring Dignity Through Work.
— The Model
Skill development happens inside real recycling and logistics operations — not in a classroom before work begins. Employees are paid from day one, and the recycling and logistics work they do generates most of the revenue that sustains it.
How the Hub Works
01
Scaled Recycling Operations
Retail returns, mattress recycling, and streetlight disassembly — scaled recycling operations processing hundreds of truckloads of material annually for commercial and municipal customers across the region.
02
On-the-Job Training and Support
Paid, full-time, first shift. 3–15 months. Industry credentials earned on the job — OSHA-30, forklift, EPA Section 608, DOL apprenticeship.
03
A Pathway Toward Stable Employment
Employees move toward stable employment in logistics, manufacturing, and the trades — with credentials, work history, and support behind them.
