What we handle for aerospace plants

  • Clean production plastics: HDPE, PP, PET/PETG, PC, PS, PVC — sprues, purges, runners, trims

  • Blister pack matrix & lidding offcuts (PVC/Al, PET/Al) — where viable recycling or energy-recovery options

  • Metals & foils: aluminum foil/lidding stock trims, stainless steel offcuts

  • Packaging: corrugate, pallets, totes, supersacks (FIBCs), drums, IBCs, clean liners/film

  • Unopened excipients & ingredients (in original packaging with paperwork): MCC, lactose, starches, sugars, etc. — subject to approval

  • Unopened solvents/alcohols (original sealed drums/IBCs with documents): ethanol, IPA, acetone, etc. — subject to approval

  • Brand-sensitive items & obsolete parts: controlled destruction with proof

  • Unused surplus PPE/filters only (no used/contaminated material)

How it works

  1. Tell us what you have (material, rough volume, pickup location).

  2. Share a few photos/labels — helps us route to the best outlet.

  3. Get a plan + price (recycling, reuse/resale, or compliant next-best).

  4. We handle pickup (nationwide trucking; rail for high-volume lanes).

  5. You get proof (diversion receipts and a simple monthly roll-up).

Volumes and timing

  • Best freight economics at 20,000 lb+ (full truckload)

  • One-time or recurring pickups (weekly or monthly)

  • Rush options available when schedules allow

Product protection & brand control

  • Controlled destruction with photos or certificate (COD) when required

  • NDA available; simple chain-of-custody records; lot/COA details captured when needed

  • cGMP-aware handling expectations (we’re not your QA department—but we keep your floor moving and your records clean)

Logistics made easy

  • Nationwide coverage; dock or floor-loaded

  • Standard vans, flatbeds, box trucks; drop trailers on request

  • Railcar options for high-volume lanes

  • Clear site instructions for drivers to keep your floor moving

Quick example

“A solid pill pharmaceutical company had a recurring supply of unused excipients. We found an approved resale outlet for the material, turning a disposal cost into a revenue stream and freeing up storage space.”

FAQs

  • Do you buy materials or charge for pickup?
    Both happen. Clean, reusable, or easily recyclable items can carry value; complex streams may carry a service fee.

  • What can’t you take?
    Regulated medical waste, patient-contacted items, DEA-controlled substances, sharps, biohazards, and used PPE/filters.

  • Can you handle unopened/expired ingredients or solvents?
    Yes—if they’re sealed in original packaging with documentation (lot/COA/MSDS as applicable). Otherwise we’ll propose the best compliant option.

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

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

  • Will I get proof of diversion or destruction?
    Yes. You’ll receive diversion receipts and, when applicable, a certificate of destruction.
