About Falcon Green Resources
Providing Roll Off Dumpsters and Shingle Recycling Services
As a woman-owned and operated business, Falcon Green Resources strives to conserve our natural resources and eliminate waste.
Our team has seen steady growth over the last 22 years. We started with a small, F-800 roll-off truck and only a few 10-yard dumpsters. Since then, we’ve expanded our fleet of trucks with larger trucks capable of hauling the larger 20, 30 and 40-cubic-yard dumpsters.
We also organize a customer appreciation day! Call us to rent a dumpster, and to find out why so many customers keep coming back to us.
Certified Women Owned
Since Falcon opened its doors in 1997, they have strived to keep the waste out of waste. Keeping America beautiful, Falcon recognizes the versatility within the components of asphalt roofing shingles. Their efforts are to eliminate shingles from entering landfills and get as much use out of asphalt, a limited natural resource, as possible. Falcon works hard to create a viable product from the shingles. They are not just a recycler; they have become a manufacturer of a marketable eco-friendly product.
