End‑to‑End Waste & Recycling Coverage
Bale Route • Staged & Live‑Load Trailers • Box Trucks
Bale Route Pickups
Designed for sites with baling equipment. You accumulate bales onsite, and we schedule pickups based on volume and cadence. Self‑loading/unloading equipment speeds dock turns and minimises storage pressure.
-Best for consistent output of OCC, office paper, and select plastics
-Ground‑level bale access preferred; dock loading supported
-The program can include volume‑based rebates where markets allow
Flexible pickup windows; milk‑run or dedicated
Trailer Services
High‑volume solution for bulk recyclables.
-Staged Trailers: Trailer left onsite as overflow storage; monthly rental applies when stationary
-Live‑Load: Trailer arrives on schedule, loads immediately, and departs — fast turnaround
-Ideal for OCC, mixed paper, plastics, and other dense streams
Reduces double‑handling; extends warehouse capacity
Box Truck Pickups
Moderate volumes and multi‑stop routes. Always live‑load; dock height is standard with liftgates available.
-Materials palletized or staged in bins/totes
-Run as milk routes (several stops) or single pickups
-Suited to fiber, plastics, and specialty recyclables
Ideal for campuses, retail networks, and light‑industrial
Accepted Streams (typical)
Accepted materials vary by market and facility. We configure streams to match local guidelines and end‑market demand.

Product Destruction
Branded goods
proprietary packaging
damaged or expired products
Certified destruction with compliance and proof-of-service documentation.
Document Destruction
Confidential documents
Secure shredding of sensitive paperwork
Certified destruction with compliance and proof-of-service documentation.
Wood Recycling
Untreated lumber
crates
skids
Sort by material type; avoid contaminated or painted wood unless approved.
Pallet Recycling
Wooden pallets
Plastic pallets
Stack safely; remove contaminants and nails; separate plastic from wood.
Restricted / Special Handling
-Hazardous/medical waste; paints, oils, chemicals
-Food‑contaminated items; liquids in containers
-Loose plastic bags/film in single‑stream; Styrofoam in most markets
-Electronics, batteries, bulbs — serviced via dedicated programs
Ask about specialized pickups for e‑waste, bulbs & batteries
Preparation & Packaging
-Bales: Consistent bale size and tie integrity improve loader efficiency. We’ll set target specs during onboarding.
-Pallets / Gaylords: Stage materials stacked safely; label streams to prevent cross‑contamination.
-Clean, Dry, Unbagged: Empty containers, keep fiber dry, and place recyclables loose — never bagged — unless program specifies film collection.
-Dock & Access: Confirm dock height, trailer approach, and gate clearances before first pickup.
Smart Setup Tips
-Flatten cardboard; avoid waxed fiber unless approved
-Rinse containers; remove food & liquids
-Use signage at eye level near loading points
-Pair recycling stations with trash to cut contamination
Scheduling, Service Levels & Equipment
Pickup Cadence
-Milk‑run routes consolidate multiple stops
