&lt;p&gt;For four decades, Hemmelgarn Services has been a trusted partner for homeowners, contractors, builders, and businesses throughout the region. Specializing in roll-off dumpster services, waste management solutions, and construction and demolition debris recycling, the company has built its reputation on reliable service, environmental responsibility, and strong customer relationships.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With locations in Sidney and Huber Heights, Hemmelgarn Services provides a wide range of disposal and recycling solutions designed to make projects easier and more efficient. Jim purchased the former Ross Aluminum site in 2010 and has revitalized and expanded the land&amp;#39; s use for various recycling and trucking purposes. Their commitment to sustainability has helped divert hundreds of thousands of tons of materials from landfills through recycling and resource recovery efforts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Beyond their business operations, the Hemmelgarn team is deeply invested in the communities they serve. Their longstanding support of local organizations, community initiatives, and economic development efforts reflects a commitment to making Shelby County and the surrounding region a better place to live and work.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This Business After Hours event is a great opportunity to learn more about Hemmelgarn Services, connect with fellow Chamber members, and see firsthand how a local family-owned business has grown into a regional leader in waste management and recycling.&lt;/p&gt;
