FAQs

  • Do you buy materials or charge for pickup?
    Both happen. Clean, reusable, or easy-to-recycle items can carry value; mixed or hard-to-handle items may have a service fee.

  • What’s the minimum pickup?
    Pilot from about 2,000 lb. Best economics at 20,000 lb+.

  • Can you handle adhesive-backed or fleece-back membranes?
    If they can be resold into secondary markets, yes. If not, there are not recycling outlets for these products.

  • Do you take gypsum board?
    We can review clean factory edge trim and cores (no tape/mud). Jobsite scraps aren’t a fit.

  • What about chemicals like coatings or sealants?
    We can review unopened containers in original packaging. We’ll ask for basic product info to confirm safe routing.

  • Do you handle construction or demolition debris?
    No. We focus on post-industrial plant material.

  • How fast can you start?
    Often within days for standard materials and lanes.

  • Will I get proof of diversion?
    Yes. You’ll receive receipts and a simple monthly roll-up.
