Why Choose Target Recycling?

Film is the highest-volume unmanaged stream in most distribution operations. Stretch wrap comes off every inbound skid and shrink wrap off every bundle, and because loose film is awkward it goes into the compactor at one site and gets baled properly at another. Across a network that inconsistency is worth real tonnage against a corporate diversion target. We have run post-industrial programs for 27 years for operations including Nestlé Canada, Ford, and Apotex.

LDPE and film we take from your sites

Stretch wrap and pallet wrap, shrink wrap and bundling film, poly bags and liners, sheeting and covers, bubble and void fill, and LDPE injection and extrusion scrap. Baled is the target, and where a site is not yet baling we run gaylords or super sacks while the equipment and routine get put in place. Single sites and multi-site networks run on the same program, with the same specs and the same reporting everywhere.

Diversion you can report, value you can bank

Clear natural stretch wrap recovers best, printed and coloured film follows, and film carrying tape, labels, or product residue grades lowest. Baled film is worth materially more than loose film because loose film is mostly air. Clean material earns a rebate rather than a tipping fee, and every load carries documented weights and a documented destination, so film tonnage counts toward ESG disclosure and corporate landfill-free reporting instead of disappearing into general waste.

Standardising baling across your network

A vertical baler at the dock turns an awkward waste problem into stackable, saleable bales, and at distribution volumes it typically pays back through avoided disposal alone. The work on a multi-site network is making that the standard everywhere rather than the practice at two sites out of nine. We assess each location, tell you where baling is justified and where it is not, and run the interim format at the rest so nothing stalls waiting on equipment.

One film program across every site

Film is generated at every dock in a distribution network, which makes it the stream most likely to be handled five different ways across five sites. We run one film program across your Ontario locations, with a single point of contact, the same baling standard, and the same specs and reporting everywhere. That turns a scattered compactor cost into diverted tonnage your corporate number can actually use. Adding a location is a scheduling change, not a new procurement cycle.

Compliance, audit support, and reporting your teams can file

Film programs run under the same ISO:14001-certified system as every other stream we handle, with documented weights, diversion reporting, and destination on every load. Your sustainability team gets numbers backed by paper for ESG and corporate disclosure. Your EHS team gets what it needs for O. Reg. 102/94 waste audits. Branded film and printed packaging can route to certified secured destruction with a certificate of destruction on every job.

Built to clear your procurement process

We are used to being onboarded properly rather than informally. We operate under an ISO:14001-certified system, are registered under the Government of Canada Controlled Goods Program, and work to a signed service agreement, with the documentation behind our diversion reporting available to your compliance team. Tell us what your supplier qualification process requires, from insurance certificates to safety documentation, and we will work through it early rather than holding up your sourcing calendar.

On-site logistics that fit your operation

Gaylords, super sacks, compactors, or bins, placed where your lines actually produce scrap, with scheduled pickups that match your production cadence. One vendor, one point of contact, one audit trail. Explore plastic recycling in Toronto, Mississauga, or Hamilton.

FAQs

Quick answers to common questions. If you have additional questions, please contact us.

Contact Us

Can you run one film program across all our sites?

Yes, and film is the stream where it matters most, because every dock generates it and every dock tends to handle it differently. One program, one point of contact, one baling standard, and consistent reporting across every Ontario location, so film tonnage rolls up cleanly to your corporate diversion number.

Do you recycle stretch wrap and shrink wrap?

Yes. Stretch wrap and pallet wrap, shrink wrap and bundling film, poly bags and liners, sheeting, and bubble and void fill. We collect from warehouses, distribution centres, and plants across Ontario, with pickups run from our Ajax facility on the 401 and our Simcoe facility serving the southwest.

What reporting do we get for ESG and diversion targets?

Documented weights, diversion figures, and destination on every load, with consistent reporting across your sites. It is built to support ESG and corporate sustainability disclosure and an O. Reg. 102/94 waste audit without reconstruction work at year end.

What film can you not take?

Film heavily contaminated with food or product residue, tape, or labels grades poorly or gets rejected. Multi-layer laminates and metallized film are also difficult. We assess it during the site walk and tell you which sites in your network produce material worth collecting and which need a handling change first.

What is the difference between LDPE and LLDPE for recycling?

For collection purposes we handle them together. Most stretch wrap is LLDPE and most bags and liners are LDPE, but they bale and process along the same path, so your sites do not need to separate them. What matters far more is keeping clear film apart from printed and coloured film.
