About this center

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. Mattresses, electronics, tires, and household and commercial appliances are the core streams, and the yard buys aluminum, copper, brass, and lead-acid automotive and marine batteries at market price. There is no drive-on scale, so steel is not purchased and comes in as a free drop-off. Minnesota requires a copper sellers license to sell copper. The crew also picks up recyclables and cleans up properties at homes, farms, and businesses. 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.

FMCSA’s Company Census file updated October 31, 2026 lists legal name EVERGREEN RECYCLING LLC, USDOT 1698450, at 53465 FOREST BLVD, RUSH CITY, MN 55069. The census record status is A (Active). Its recorded MCS-150 form date is 2025-10-13. This is a matched entity-registration record, not proof of site ownership, current operating authority, recycling permits or customer services.

What fleet and driver figures are reported in the matched FMCSA entity record?

The active FMCSA census row for EVERGREEN RECYCLING LLC (USDOT 1698450) reports 3 power units, 3 trucks, 3 drivers. Its recorded MCS-150 form date is 2025-10-13; that is a form date, not independent confirmation that each count was measured on that date. The file snapshot was updated October 31, 2026.

What FMCSA vehicle inspection history matches this registered carrier?

FMCSA’s vehicle inspection file retrieved October 31, 2026 contains 3 reviewed records matching USDOT 1698450 and the current registered legal/DBA name for EVERGREEN RECYCLING LLC, dated 2024-05-16 through 2024-11-06. 3 matched reports have a positive VIOL_TOTAL field and 2 have a positive OOS_TOTAL field. Across these distinct reports, the source VIOL_TOTAL values sum to 22 and OOS_TOTAL values sum to 2; these are reported inspection-level counts. This is the observed subset of a three-year file, not a lifetime total. The history concerns the registered carrier’s vehicles/operations, not inspections of this recycling facility. An out-of-service violation at an inspection does not establish a current carrier-wide shutdown or present safety status.
