- Trailers not moved more than twice a month may incur rental fees.
- Considered when the trailer is used more for storage than transportation.
Live Load:

- The process is immediate, as implied by the term "live."
Less than Truckload (LTL):
- An option for smaller shipments.

These services cater to various customer needs, from storage solutions to immediate loading, offering flexibility in managing recyclable products.
Box Truck

- Always involves live loading.

Equipment
Stationary compator
Self-contained compator
A self-contained compactor is a waste management system that compacts waste directly into a sealed container that's part of the same unit. The integrated design of the compactor and container prevents liquid leakage and spillage, making it ideal for wet waste or other applications that require liquid retention.
Vertical Baler
A vertical baler is a machine that uses vertical pressure to compact recyclable materials into bales. The bales are then secured with banding or wires. Vertical balers often powered by electricity or compressed air.
Horizontal Baler
A horizontal baler is a large, industrial-scale machine that compresses recyclable waste into bales for easier handling. They are designed for heavy-duty, continuous use in facilities that produce large amounts of waste, such as recycling centers, supermarkets, and distribution centers. Horizontal balers can process a wide variety of materials, including paper, cardboard, plastic, metal, tires, rubber, and textiles.
Internal containers
Gaylord
- Good for storing lighter materials, i.e. shrink wrap, plastic bottles, newspapers, supersacks, etc.
- Can collapse for warehouses that have smaller storage areas while not being used.
- Gaylords typically need a pallet underneath so a forklift can transport it. It can be loaded side-by-side on a trailer.
- Usually, they are not double stackable because of the weight of the pallet, but can be done if weight of material is light enough.
Toter
- Has two wheels so it can be transported to different areas
- It also fits through doorways and elevators for easy transportation, i.e. multiple rooms or multiple floor buildings to bring to loading / dock area
- They are typically used in hallways, breakrooms and copier rooms.
- Toters come with a flip open lid to protect contents if used in an outdoor environment
- Available in 35, 64 and 96 gallon capacities.
Hamper
- Hampers are usually made of plastic or canvas
- Made with wheels for easy transport.
- The dimensions are 48" L x 48" W x 36" H
Tub
- Good for storing heavier materials, i.e. glass, printers mix, sorted office paper, and mixed paper.
- Used typically in warehouse environments where space is available.
- Can be used in outdoor environments where product can be stored due to plastic (HDPE) construction. It has built-in grooves so a forklift can pick it up without a pallet underneath. It can be loaded double-wide in a trailer and can be stacked.
- Has a plastic top that will protect the contents, if stored outside.
Large Desk Side Recycle Bin
- Made of cardboard and has built-in handles for easy maneuverability.
- It is good for areas where there is not a lot of space, i.e. breakrooms, small offices, copier rooms, and hallways.
- Due to construction, it is typically best for light materials (such as copy paper and sorted office waste).
- It can be fitted with a plastic liner bag for breakroom/lunchroom environments if food/beverage cans will be collected.
- Usually, these are dumped into larger collection bins (i.e. tubs, gaylords, toters).
Small Desk Side Recycle Bin
- Same as Large Desk Side Bins, but can be put next to/under a desk for easier daily collection.
