Industrial Plastic Recycling — Cincinnati | IH-R

✓ Swapped within 24 hours✓ No minimum✓ Within 50 miles of Cincinnati✓ EPA permitted✓ Business-to-business only

We collect scrap plastic direct from your facility and often pay rebates on it. All grades, all forms, one vendor. No landfill, ever.

Plastic scrap doesn’t arrive in one shape. A molder produces purge and runners at the press. A film line produces baled wrap and roll ends. A label plant produces die-cut plastic — the sticky skeleton left behind once the labels are punched out — and it comes off continuously while the press is running.

Most plants end up with material staged somewhere it was never meant to go, because the vendor only takes one form of it. We take the lot: every resin, every form, off the same dock, on the same pickup.

Every form plastic leaves a plant in

Both film and rigid, in every resin. Baled, loose, on rolls, in gaylords or in drums.

Find your exact material

Nobody searches for “plastic”. They search for the thing sitting on their dock, named the way their industry names it. Every line below is material we take.

Find your operation

Injection & blow molders

Purge at color change, runners every cycle, rejects by the gaylord. The material lands at the press, not at the dock — so that’s where the container should be.

Label & flexible packaging converters

Die-cut plastic, release liner, slitting trim, butt rolls and startup waste. It’s bulky, it’s tacky, and it fills a dock faster than anyone plans for. We take die-cut plastic on its own or mixed in with the rest.

Film & sheet extruders

Edge trim, startup purge, out-of-spec rolls and roll ends. Baled or loose — we’ll place a baler if the volume carries it.

Thermoformers

Trim skeleton is mostly air and eats floor space immediately. Granulate on site or hand it over as-is; either works.

Warehouses & distribution centers

Stretch wrap and pallet wrap off every inbound load, plus strapping and bags. The same trailer takes your cardboard.

Food, beverage & pharmaceutical

Food-grade containers and film, blister packs, trays and totes. Where the material needs handling under a documented process, we’ll work to it.

We put the container where the material lands

Scrap gets handled twice when the container is in the wrong place. The right setup depends on volume and where in the plant it’s generated.

EquipmentSizeBest for
Gaylord box1.5 cu ydRegrind, runners, rejects — sits on a pallet at the press
Self-dumping hopper¼–2 cu ydAt the machine; forklift tips it into the larger container
Open-top / roll-off10–40 cu ydBulk rigid and mixed loads, in the yard or alongside a dock
53-foot trailer53 ftDropped at your dock — your crew loads as it comes off the line
Baler—High-volume film; turns loose wrap into a graded bale

The trailer option. You do not store the material in the warehouse at all — it goes from the line into the trailer, and the trailer leaves when it’s full. No staging area, no baling corner, no floor space lost to scrap.
