Soft Plastic Recycling & Shrink Wrap Recycling

Shrink wrap recycling

Plastic Film / Soft Plastic Recycling

The soft plastic / shrink wrap recycling program currently helps divert roughly 8 million pounds of plastic out of our local landfills each year.

After the initial setup in our shrink wrap recycling program, Westcoast will drop off bulk bags for you to store the soft plastic in.  A collection truck will then be sent to your location on a weekly, bi-monthly or monthly basis, depending on the volume of plastic your company is generating. We mainly collect HDPE, LDPE, & PP films like shrink wrap, shopping bags, bubble wrap etc…

Shrink Wrap Recycling

Shrink Wrap

Fun Fact: Shrink wrap recycling was the first program Westcoast rolled out in 2008 at which time we were able to offer it for free. Unfortunately, the value of shrink wrap fell over the years due to tightening regulations in China. However, we recycle more shrink wrap than any other material we process.
