Frequently Asked Questions


  • How does plastic recycling work? 
  • Plastic is amazingly reusable.  It can be reprocessed and recompounded several times. Recycling begins with identification, inspection, cleaning and grinding.   We then reprocess plastic through a compounding process and supply pellets or powders to a wide range of industries for reuse.  See our chart on what is made with recycled plastics for more info.

  • I am a business, municipality or I have a large amount of scrap plastic.  How do I get a price for my scrap? 
  • Contact us.  Simply call or email and send us a photo of what you have.  We will reply within an hour (during business hours).

  • I am a homeowner and I have a small amount of plastic for recycling.  Can you pick it up?
