The Waste Optima Difference

Sustainable³ Approach

Economical, operational, and environmental wins—designed together.

Economical

  • Reduce disposal costs and improve netbacks

  • Monetize byproducts and surplus inventory

  • Favor long-term offtake vs. one-off hauls

Operational

  • Minimize contamination to cut rejects/returns

  • Optimize pickups (≥ 2,000 lb; strongest at 20,000 lb+)

  • Rail or truck logistics, including live loads and drop trailers

Environmental

  • Landfill diversion with documented CO₂e impacts

  • Prioritize reuse, then recycling, then recovery

  • Supports Scope 3 and ESG reporting

FAQs

Do you buy materials or charge for pickup?
Both occur—based on cleanliness, form, volumes, and freight. Clean, marketable material is often purchased; mixed or low-value streams may incur a service fee.

What industries do you serve?
Manufacturing, warehousing/distribution, building materials, chemicals, and consumer goods. See Industries Served above for details.

How is pricing calculated?
Spec and location drive value: commodity/polymer value, cleanliness, packaging/loading, and freight lane. We’ll quote after reviewing photos/specs and typical load size.
