Christmas Tree Pickup Services

A Christmas tree can keep giving back long after the holidays. Justice Industries was founded by Mark DeVries, who served for 28 years as a pastor to youth and families at First Presbyterian Church in Nashville. Those roots in ministry continue today through paid work for people facing barriers to employment. Each holiday season, Justice Industries partners with Preston Taylor Ministries, a Nashville nonprofit that serves children and teens through after-school programs and mentoring, to pick up Christmas trees curbside. This year Rockwood Solutions will be turning them into mulch right here in Middle Tennessee! It’s a simple way for families to recycle their trees while supporting two local organizations rooted in service.

Our industries

Quality work, done by people who earned the chance.

We provide hands-on training, employment experience, and ongoing support to individuals who face barriers to traditional employment. Many of our employees come to Justice Industries with education, job training, skills, and a strong desire to work, yet opportunities can remain limited because of a justice-involved history, gaps in employment, or other life circumstances. Justice Industries provides an opportunity to build experience, strengthen skills, and establish a solid work history while earning meaningful income.

Our Testimonials

I knew that if I just had the opportunity, I could show someone that I can do the work and that I can work hard. Justice Industries gave me that opportunity to show that I can be dependable and do the job. All I needed was a chance.

Cheryl

Justice Industries Employee Testimony
My past could have limited my future, but Justice Industries gave me an opportunity when many people would have only seen where I had been. They believed in me, invested in me, and helped me rebuild my confidence and create a new path forward. Today, I work in real estate and pursue my passion for music, and I’ll always be grateful to Justice Industries for believing in me when I needed it most.
