The soft plastic film recovery program currently helps divert roughly 8 million pounds of plastic out of our local landfills each year.
After the initial setup in the loose film program, Westcoast will drop off storage bins that fit your particular recycling need. 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. Most of the common soft plastic that Westcoast Plastic Recycling collects are from either the high or low density polyethylene family and a small amount of polypropylene such as shrink wrap, shopping bags, bubble wrap etc…
