National Bin Brigade

The National Bin Brigade is more than just a trash bin cleaning service; it embodies a passion for community, innovation, and service. Founded by seasoned entrepreneurs and veterans Jim Croyle and JC Blankenship, the company combines military discipline with a forward-thinking approach to waste management. As a veteran-owned and operated business, the National Bin Brigade is driven by values of service, sustainability, and a commitment to community impact.

A Bond Forged in Service

Jim and JC’s partnership began in Iraq, where they served together in the U.S. military and government roles. Their shared experiences in challenging environments created a strong bond based on leadership, integrity, and a mutual desire to make a difference. This bond is the foundation upon which they built the National Bin Brigade, a company dedicated to raising the bar in trash bin cleaning while making a positive impact.

Meet Jim: Committed to Growth and Community

Jim Croyle brings over 20 years of entrepreneurial experience and a background in federal service, including 23 years in the U.S. Navy and 16 years as a Department of Defense program manager. He has founded and led several businesses, including leadership development and event equipment rental companies, all with a focus on delivering excellence and building trust.

Jim’s decision to enter the trash bin cleaning industry stemmed from its growth potential and alignment with his values of scalability and community impact. Under his leadership, the National Bin Brigade uses eco-friendly processes, ensuring responsible waste management. The company carefully manages liquid industrial byproducts, in compliance with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations, to minimize its environmental footprint.

Meet JC: Strategic Visionary

JC Blankenship, co-founder of the National Bin Brigade, was searching for an entrepreneurial opportunity that aligned with his desire to make a real impact. After years of government work, he partnered with Jim to create the National Bin Brigade, where their shared vision of growth and community service could thrive. JC’s strategic mindset has helped guide the company’s expansion, and he is excited about its future.

“Seeing the business grow and the path we are on is the most exciting thing in my career,” says JC, who envisions the National Bin Brigade expanding nationwide and becoming a multi-million-dollar company in the years ahead.

Residential and Commercial Excellence

The National Bin Brigade offers both residential and commercial cleaning services, ensuring homes and businesses are free from harmful bacteria and grime. Their recent commercial project—a large-scale cleaning of 835,000 square feet of a bridge crossing the James River into Richmond—demonstrates their ability to handle even the most extensive jobs while maintaining the same attention to detail and commitment as their residential services.

Innovative Partnerships with Non-Profits

Beyond business, the National Bin Brigade is a community partner. Jim’s dedication to education led to the creation of a unique fundraising model that continues to support non-profit organizations long after the initial sale. Launched with the New Kent Education Foundation, this model generates ongoing revenue for the non-profit partner over the next two years, ensuring sustainable support for both the organization and the Brigade. This approach highlights the company’s commitment to innovation, education, and community involvement.

Looking Ahead

With a strong foundation built on trust, innovation, and community, Jim, JC, and their team are dedicated to expanding the National Bin Brigade’s services while continuing to positively impact the neighborhoods they serve. As the company grows, they are committed to providing top-tier residential and commercial cleaning solutions while giving back to their community.

Stay tuned as the National Bin Brigade continues to clean up neighborhoods and build a brighter, more sustainable future for all.
