Alabama’s HDPE generation profile
Alabama’s HDPE volume sits on three pillars. First, automotive: Mercedes (Tuscaloosa), Honda (Lincoln), Hyundai (Montgomery), and the dense Tier-1 / Tier-2 supplier base around them generate substantial HDPE injection-mold purge, runners, and packaging totes. Second, the Mobile port complex — including Austal USA shipbuilding and a growing chemical / petroleum support base — drives industrial HDPE drum and tote turnover. Third, the historic Alabama pulp and paper sector and its food and beverage adjacency (poultry processing, especially in north and central Alabama) generates HDPE chemical containers, slip-sheets, and pallets.
The Port of Mobile gives BlackBridge Gulf Coast container access; the rail-and-truck corridor through Birmingham and Montgomery makes inland pickup straightforward.

Alabama HDPE pricing context
Alabama HDPE pricing tracks Southeast/Gulf indices and benefits from Mobile port competition with Savannah and Charleston when export demand is strong. Natural HDPE regrind has historically traded $0.32–$0.58/lb, color regrind $0.08–$0.26/lb, baled #2 post-consumer $0.07–$0.20/lb. Drums and totes per piece. Auto-Tier post-industrial regrind (clean, single-source) typically nets at the higher end. Pricing moves weekly — call 800-449-5084.
FAQ — Selling HDPE in Alabama
Q: Do you have experience with Tier-1 automotive HDPE programs?
A: Yes. Tier-1 and Tier-2 injection molding accounts are a core part of our Alabama and Southeast book. We support PPAP-style documentation, segregated single-source loads, and the chain-of-custody auto OEMs require for closed-loop or verified recycling.
Q: Can you ship HDPE bales out of the Port of Mobile?
A: Yes. We book containers out of Mobile when export pricing beats domestic. Mobile is often more accessible than Savannah for west-and-central Alabama generators because of shorter inland freight.
Q: Do you accept HDPE chemical drums from poultry / food processing?
A: Yes — provided drums are RCRA-empty (≤1 inch heel of non-hazardous residue). Sanitizer, peracetic acid, and standard food-grade chemical drums clear routinely. Hazardous content requires profile review.
Q: How do you handle freight from rural Alabama generators?
A: Rural generators (poultry plants, ag-chem distributors, county MRFs) often consolidate with nearby pickups to make truck economics work. We will quote both standalone and consolidated and let you decide. Volume floor for direct pickup is typically 5,000 lbs.
