New Life Plastic Recycling, Inc. is a post-industrial plastic recycler. We handle a wide variety of plastics. We routinely drop trailers at our customer's facilities. When the trailer is full, we swap it out with another empty one. The material is brought into a recycling facility, weighed, segregated and inventoried until we determine when to process it. A "settlement" report is sent to the customer with the gross and net weights. We take a 75lb tare weight from each box that is located on a pallet. We ask for a 48 hour turn-around when our customers need a pick-up to give us time to prepare for the material coming in.
Our service area includes NC, SC, GA, VA, and eastern Tennessee. On occasion, depending on the type of plastic, we may extend farther out. We typically require a 10,000lb minimum on truck load weights to pick up at your facility. Trucks must be loaded so that we can unload with a forklift. Packaging of material can include 1. Parts in Gaylord boxes 2. Parts stacked and stretch wrapped on wood or plastic pallets 3. Roll-stock stacked and stretch wrapped on pallets. We sell nationally and internationally. Feel free to call or email us regarding your specific needs. We are happy to come to your facility and offer a consultation regarding your recycling needs and will also be able to advise you regarding your other scrap items, including wood pallets, cardboard, metal and so forth.
OTHER PLASTICS
We also can recycle plastics that fall into the OTHER category.This plastic category, as its name of "other" implies, is any plastic other than the named #1–#6, Commonly found on certain kinds of food containers, Tupperware, and Nalgene bottles.
Recycling is everyone's responsibility. When you shop, look for recycled content somewhere on the product you are purchasing, whether it's on the packaging or on the product itself. Simply putting your milk jugs and soda bottles in your bin and putting it on the curb isn't enough. As consumers we must be more pro-active in asking for/requesting more products with recycled content. Manufacturers have little incentive to use recycled plastics when virgin resin could be acquired, in some cases, almost as cheaply as recycled plastics. We have come a long way in the recycling world since I first began in this industry. But there is still a long way to go. Changes are always happening. Progress is never as fast as we like. Let's all do our part to make this planet a healthier, greener one!
