The Bergfalk family bought a small Rush City recycling company in June 2007, and it now employs 13 people and averages about 20,000 mattresses, 300,000 pounds of electronics, and 700 tons of scrap a year over the last four years.

The building runs on a 19.1 kW solar installation and heats with converted used oil, and the yard is open weekdays 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday morning.
