Scott Ledford, the visionary force behind Metrosite Inc., a thriving construction and demolition recycling facility in Commerce, Georgia, didn’t begin in waste. Ledford’s journey into the world of waste management began amid the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic as he took a bold step to seize control of the waste leaving his cell phone tower fabrication business and the massive amount of residential and commercial construction starting in the area.

Starting with just two roll-off trucks and a handful of containers, he quickly transformed his venture into a booming waste collection business. Witnessing exponential growth, Metrosite faced a pivotal moment, prompting Ledford and his team to explore innovative solutions. The answer? A cutting-edge C&D material recovery facility designed to intercept commodities bound for landfill.

In 2021, Metrosite Inc. proudly unveiled its state-of-the-art MRF, achieving an impressive 70 percent diversion rate from the tip floor. Metrosite is the lone ranger on the eastern seaboard leveraging robotics for waste sorting, liberating their dedicated workforce for more impactful tasks that keep the site buzzing with productivity.

Beyond the business realm, Ledford is deeply rooted in Banks County, where he resides. Actively engaged in the community, his commitment extends far beyond the recycling facility, echoing his dedication to making a positive impact at every turn.
