Plastics Recycling in Memphis, TN: What Plastics Can Businesses Recycle?
Businesses across Memphis, TN and the Greater Memphis area generate a surprising amount of plastic waste every day. From warehouse shrink wrap to plastic pallets and totes, these materials can quickly take up valuable space in a loading dock, warehouse, manufacturing facility, distribution center, or restaurant.
The good news is that qualifying non-hazardous plastics can be recycled instead of sent to a landfill. Let us help you with this!
Waste Solutions, Inc. provides commercial plastics recycling and pickup services throughout the Greater Memphis area, including North Mississippi and East Arkansas. We help businesses manage plastic waste responsibly while improving their recycling programs.
What Plastics Can Be Recycled?
One of the most common questions businesses ask us is:
“What types of plastic can my business recycle?”
Depending on the material and the condition of it, Waste Solutions can handle commercial plastics such as:
Shrink wrap and stretch film
Plastic pallets
Plastic totes
Industrial plastic materials
Qualifying soft plastics
Other non-hazardous plastic waste
Plastic purity matters. Materials contaminated with excessive labels, tape, food waste, or other materials may not be suitable for recycling. Our Waste Solutions team can help businesses determine which plastic materials are appropriate for their recycling program.
How Does Commercial Plastic Recycling Work?
The process can be surprisingly simple.
Waste Solutions personnel will arrange onsite pickup of qualifying non-hazardous plastic materials from businesses throughout the Memphis area.
Materials can then be sorted and processed for recycling. For qualifying plastics, Waste Solutions also offers baling services designed to help prepare materials for recycling and improve handling efficiency.
This can be especially helpful for businesses along the I-40 and I-240 corridors, distribution centers near Memphis International Airport, warehouses in South Memphis, and commercial operations in Bartlett, Cordova, Germantown, Collierville, Lakeland, Arlington, Oakland, and Eads.
A Better Way to Handle Plastic Waste
Plastic waste does not have to automatically become trash.
A well-designed recycling program can help businesses reduce the amount of material going to landfills while creating a more organized waste stream.
At Waste Solutions, we focus on environmentally friendly recycling and waste solutions for commercial and industrial customers in the Greater Memphis area, as well as surrounding areas of North Mississippi and East Arkansas.
For qualifying materials, our goal has always been 100% landfill-free recycling.
Onsite Pickup Makes Recycling Easier
If you manage a busy Memphis warehouse, distribution or manufacturing facility, transporting plastic waste yourself is not always practical.
Waste Solutions provides onsite pickup, allowing businesses to have qualifying plastic materials collected directly from their facility.
For you, this means less time spent moving waste around the property and more time focused on running the business.
Whether your operation is in Memphis, Bartlett, Cordova, Germantown, Collierville, Lakeland, Arlington, Oakland, or Eads, a customized plastics recycling program can make managing your waste stream easier.
Responsible Recycling for Greater Memphis Businesses
From a warehouse full of shrink wrap to a distribution center generating plastic pallets and totes, Waste Solutions can help determine the best way to handle qualifying materials.
We work with businesses to develop practical recycling solutions based on the type, volume, and condition of their plastic materials.
