PP and mixed plastics

The plastics nobody else will take

PP, mixed rigids, 1-7 and 3-7. If these are the bales stacking up in your yard because your usual buyer keeps passing, they are 608 loads a year for us — about a dozen a week.

    The grades that sit longest in your yard

    These are the loads most brokers avoid because placing them takes actual relationships with secondary sorters. That is exactly why we built them.

    PP #5Tubs, lids and containers. Strong and growing reclaimer demand.
    Mixed rigid plasticsThe catch-all rigid bale. Goes to sorters who pull the polyolefins back out.
    1-7 plasticsFull mixed-resin bales, including the residual most outlets refuse.
    3-7 plasticsPost-PET-and-HDPE mixed. Placed with secondary sorting.
    Bulky rigidsCrates, buckets, furniture and toters.
    Sorting residueMaterial you may currently be paying to landfill. Sometimes it moves — worth one conversation before it goes in a trailer to disposal.

    Why suppliers stay with us

    You get a trader, not a portal

    One person who knows your material, your plant and what you shipped last month. No bidding platform, no ticket queue, no re-explaining your spec every time.

    Freight is our problem, not yours

    We arrange the truck in-house and quote it per move. You are not chasing carriers or eating a deadhead because a load ran late.

    We have been doing this since 2011

    Over 510,000 tons moved. The relationships that place your material took fifteen years to build and they are the reason a load finds a home in a soft market.

    We buy loads that are already built

    You bale it, we move it. We are not asking you to change your process, sort differently, or hold material while we find someone.

    How it works

    Four steps. No portal, no bidding platform, no ticket queue.

    STEP 01

    Tell us what you have

    Grade, rough volume, location. Photos help but are not required.

    STEP 02

    A trader reviews it

    A person looks at it and tells you honestly whether it moves and where.

    STEP 03

    We confirm in writing

    Commercial terms are put in writing before anything ships.

    STEP 04

    We handle the freight

    Truck is arranged in-house and quoted per move.

    What people usually ask first

    “Our material is not clean enough”

    Almost nobody’s is. Grade is a spectrum, not a pass/fail — send photos and we will tell you which grade it lands in and whether it moves, rather than quoting you for material you do not actually have.

    “We already have a broker”

    Most of our suppliers did. Being the second call costs you nothing — when your usual outlet is full, on downtime, or quiet on a grade, having somewhere else to put a load is the whole point.

    “We are too small to matter”

    If you build full truckloads, you are the right size. We work with county programs and single-plant operators alongside national haulers.

    “How do we know we will get paid?”

    Terms are agreed in writing before material moves, and we carry trade credit insurance on our receivables. Ask and we will walk you through exactly how a load settles.

    Questions we get asked

    Nobody wants our mixed rigids. Do you?

    Mixed rigids and 1-7 are a normal part of our book — 608 loads last year. They go to secondary sorters who pull the polyolefins back out, which is a different buyer set than the one turning you down.

    What contamination level is acceptable?

    It depends on the buyer and it changes with the market. Send photos and a description and a trader will tell you honestly whether it moves, rather than quoting and then rejecting.

    We are currently paying to landfill this. Is that normal?

    It is common, and it is not always necessary. Some of this material carries a positive value and some of it we can move at a lower net cost than disposal. It costs nothing to ask.

    Do you buy PP separately from mixed rigids?

    Yes. Clean PP #5 is its own grade with its own buyers and is worth more separated.

    Do you handle the freight?

    Yes, arranged in-house and quoted per move.

    What volume do you need?

    Full truckloads of already-built bales.

    Have a load to move?
