Humble Beginnings

In 1994, Freddie and Angela Robinson founded South Post Oak Recycling Center (SPORC) with a bold vision—to build a recycling business that not only provided financial opportunity for hardworking people in the local community but also created a positive environmental and social impact.

Freddie, having worked in an aluminum recycling plant, saw firsthand how recycling could be a game-changer for working-class families. He recognized the value in discarded materials and understood that if done right, metal recycling could support a household, sustain a community, and contribute to a larger movement of environmental responsibility.

A New Era of Leadership & Innovation

Now celebrating 30+ years in business, SPORC continues to thrive under the second-generation leadership of Brandi Harleaux. After a successful corporate career, Brandi joined the family business in 2014, bringing fresh insight and a commitment to driving SPORC into the future—all while maintaining SPORC’s core values and foundational successes.

Brandi’s leadership is centered on three core pillars:

Sustainability & Innovation – Enhancing recycling efficiency and developing forward-thinking solutions that align with the circular economy.

Community & Workforce Development – Creating opportunities through mentorship, education, and second-chance employment.

Diversity & Industry Leadership – Advocating for women in recycling, minority-owned businesses, and workforce inclusion in a traditionally male-dominated field.
