1 PET / PETE

Polyethylene Terephthalate

Clear and mixed-color bottles, preforms, strapping, and regrind. Widely accepted — feedstock for new containers, fiber, and film.

Bottles · Preforms · Clear Regrind · Green Chopped Strapping

2 HDPE

High-Density Polyethylene

Milk jugs, detergent bottles, drums, and rigid scrap. One of the most versatile and valuable post-industrial streams.

Natural · Pigmented · Baled · Regrind

3 PVC / V

Polyvinyl Chloride

Pipe, siding, window profile, flexible sheeting. We handle both flex and rigid PVC in commercial quantities.

Flex · Rigid · Pipe Offcuts · Profile

4 LDPE

Low-Density Polyethylene

Stretch film, shrink wrap, and flexible packaging. Best when baled clean and dry — film loses value fast with contamination.

Baled Film · Stretch Wrap · Shrink · Bags

5 PP

Polypropylene

Caps, closures, automotive parts, glass-filled grades, and high-melt copolymers. Strong market for clean industrial PP.

30–35% Glass-Filled · Copolymer · Regrind

6 PS / EPS

Polystyrene

HIPS cups and trays, clamshells, and expanded polystyrene (EPS) — accepted loose or densified in block form.

HIPS Regrind · EPS White Block · Densified

We recommend the setup.

Loose collection, baled pickups, trailers, roll-off, or drop-off — paired to your volume.

Pickup begins

Keep plastic clean and dry. Trash costs start falling from the first haul.

Improve quality → improve value

Quality → rebate value.

We share simple prep rules so your grade stays high and your rebate stays strong.

Pickup & Hauling Options

Choose the method that fits your operation:

Bale Route — self-load/unload service for customers with baled/bundled product

Trailer Service — staged trailer (storage) or live load

Box Truck — for less-than-truckload quantities (live load)

Delivered In / Self-Haul — bring material to a Loop facility

Rear Load — standard dumpster with rear-load collection truck; best for ongoing collection

Front End Load (FEL) — larger front-load dumpster; ideal for high-volume generators with frequent service needs

Roll-Off — open-top roll-off container; suited for bulky, loose, or high-volume material

Ask about a free waste audit to identify diversion opportunities.
