LEED-Ready. Bay Area-Based. Audit-Proof Documentation.

The C&D Recycler
Built for LEED.

When your project's certification is on the line, the recycler you choose matters. Premier Recycle's unique vertically-integrated model — owning the trucks, running the sorting facility, and producing every diversion report in-house — means complete control over every step of the process. The result is not only the most reliable service, but independently audited diversion data that holds up to any LEED or jurisdiction review.

Why It Matters Who You Choose

Fully Integrated vs. Fragmented

Not all recyclers are the same. On a LEED project, the difference shows up at close-out, when there's no time and no budget to fix it.

The Certified Standard
Premier Recycle
  • RCI-certified facility — the credential that unlocks the Exemplary Performance bonus point under LEED v4.1. Working with Premier Recycle puts that extra point on the table that other providers do not have access to
  • One chain of custody, one responsible party — we own the trucks and run the facility. No subcontractors, no gaps
  • Commingled loads count as multiple LEED material streams — unlocking Paths 2 & 4 under LEED v4.1, unavailable through uncertified recyclers
  • On-staff sustainability experts and full documentation suite included — Green Halo management, waste management plan submittals, LEED-formatted reports, and close-out support. No extra cost
  • Reliable service, every time — we pick up the phone, you talk to a real person, and we show up when we say we will. No chasing down a hauler when you need a bin moved
The Alternative
Hauler-Only Provider
  • A LEED point you can't get back — without RCI certification, the Exemplary Performance bonus is simply unavailable to your project, regardless of what a hauler promises
  • No control over where your material goes — loads are handed off to whichever third-party facility is available, with no downstream ownership, no audit trail, and no accountability
  • Messy data that doesn't hold up at submittal — when haulers supply you with self-reported data from uncertified facilities, it doesn't meet LEED documentation standards and the burden falls on the GC to sort it out
  • LEED promises with no one to back them up — no dedicated sustainability staff means the documentation and close-out support fall back on your team
What We Offer

Full-Service C&D Recycling, Start to Close-Out

Every part of the recycling process runs through Premier Recycle, from the first bin on site to the last signature on your LEED close-out package.

Debris Bin Rental & Hauling

Roll-off bins in 10, 20, and 40 yard sizes. Dependable pickups, quick turnaround. No surprises. Solutions to your jobsite challenges: covers, pick rings, and Totester mini carts available for tight footprints.

In-House Sorting Facility

The largest hand-sort C&D facility in the U.S., RCI-certified and owned and operated by Premier Recycle. Every load sorted, weighed, and documented under one roof by the same company that picked it up.

Diversion Documentation & Reporting

LEED-formatted diversion reports, waste management plans, and permit recycling refund requests, all produced from independently audited facility data by our on-staff sustainability experts and ready when you need them.
