The Plastics Recycling: Professional Revolution & Disposal Solutions
Plastic is one of the most versatile and durable materials on the planet, used in everything from animal tags to airplane interiors. However, that same durability means it can last up to 450 years in our oceans if not handled properly. At TrashKing.ca, we provide the industrial-strength infrastructure needed to move plastics from your facility to the processing plant, ensuring they are pelletized and repurposed rather than wasted.
Partnering with the Best: Merlin Plastics & Beyond
We don’t just “haul” plastic; we are part of the recycling revolution in B.C. We work closely with Merlin Plastics Supply Inc., who operate a state-of-the-art sorting facility in Guilford and a top-tier manufacturing plant in Delta.
- Advanced Processing: Our partners handle everything from tolling and regrinding to full goods destruction for out-of-date foodstuffs.
- Closing the Loop: Recycled plastic flakes and pellets are used to manufacture utility items—including the very bins we use at Trash King!
Decoding the 7 Families of Plastic
Understanding the industry-standard numbering system is key to effective recycling. Trash King handles almost all of them:
- PETE (#1): Water and soda bottles.
- HDPE (#2): Milk jugs and detergent bottles.
- PVC (#3): Plastic water pipes and vinyl.
- LDPE (#4): Bread bags and shrink wrap.
- Polypropylene (#5): Bottle caps and yogurt containers.
- PS (#6): Styrofoam (Note: Often requires a specific depot).
- Miscellaneous (#7): Gas cans, 5-gallon jugs, and biodegradables.
The Trash King Advantage: You don’t need to sweat the separation! Most recyclable plastics can be combined in our bins; the major recycling depots we use have the technology to sort mixed materials efficiently.
Solutions for Every Scale
Commercial & Industrial Recycling
For large-scale retailers and food supply companies like Sysco, Gordon, or The Brick, standard bins aren’t enough. As your location expands, so do your waste needs. We provide 12 and 20-yard commercial bins that can handle high-volume plastics without the need for manual sorting.
DIY Tips for Home & Office
You don’t need a 2,400-degree furnace to be a “green hero.” You can boost recycling productivity with three simple steps:
- Wash it out: Plastics caked in food are often rejected. A quick rinse makes a huge difference.
- Separate the “Un-recyclables”: Remove non-plastic liners or mixed-material components that can’t be processed.
- Visible Placement: Ensure your recycling is in a clear, accessible spot for our hook-lift trucks.
Safe, Professional, and Precise
When you rent a plastic dumpster or blue box bin from us, you’re getting more than a container—you’re getting a team of trained technicians.
- Hook-Lift Precision: Our roll-off trucks allow us to place and extract bins with surgical accuracy, even in tight spots.
- All-Weather Tough: Our bins sit neatly outside and are built to withstand the Canadian elements.
- Total Reliability: From West Vancouver to Abbotsford, we deliver on time and ensure your materials reach the factory, not the landfill.
