Black Entrepreneur Reinvents Recycling While Bringing Jobs and Green Innovation to Urban and Rural Communities

Lester Brazzel, Founder of Cubia Recycling

Nationwide — Lester Brazzel, the Founder and CEO of Cubia Recycling, a pioneering force in sustainable waste management, has announced the expansion of its innovative decentralized recycling infrastructure designed to create economic opportunity while advancing environmental stewardship in communities often overlooked by traditional recycling systems.

“Recycling infrastructure shouldn’t be a luxury reserved for big cities with big budgets,” says Brazzel. “Our mission is to bring jobs, education, and environmental progress directly into the communities that need it most—whether that’s a rural crossroads or a dense urban block. With Cubia, we’re proving that sustainability and economic opportunity can go hand-in-hand, no matter your zip code.”

Comprehensive Commodity Processing in a Compact Footprint

Each Cubia Recycling unit is engineered to receive and process a wide range of recyclable materials, including: Aluminum cans, plastic #1 and #2, steel cans, electronic waste, cardboard (OCC), and wooden pallets

By leveraging advanced robotics and artificial intelligence, Cubia’s system automates sorting and processing with speed and precision unmatched by traditional facilities, reducing contamination, increasing throughput, and creating skilled technical job opportunities in the communities where each unit is deployed.

Education at the Core: We Teach Green™

Beyond processing recyclables, Cubia Recycling is committed to community education. Each modular site includes
an on-site-education center as part of the company’s We Teach Green™ initiative, offering hands-on learning experiences for students, families, and local organizations about sustainability, recycling science, and environmental responsibility.

“Every Cubia location is more than a recycling center; it’s a classroom, a job creator, and a community anchor,” added Brazzel. “We’re not just processing materials. We’re building a movement.”

Investment Opportunity Now Open

Cubia Recycling is currently raising capital to fuel its national expansion through a Wefunder crowdfunding campaign, inviting individuals and investors to become part of this green infrastructure movement.
