Target Recycling collects LDPE and plastic film from warehouses, distribution centres and plants across the GTA and Ontario: 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. Clean film earns a rebate instead of a tipping fee, and baled film is worth materially more than loose. Material is processed at our Ajax facility, with pelletizing in Simcoe, under an ISO 14001 certified program, with documented weights and a documented destination on every load.

Yes. Stretch wrap, shrink wrap and the other LDPE and LLDPE film that leaves a dock or a production line is recyclable when it is kept clean and baled. Clear natural film recovers best, printed and coloured film follows, and film carrying tape, labels or product residue grades lowest. Multi-layer laminates and metallized film are the hard cases, and the site walk shows which of your streams are worth collecting.
Every program starts with a free on-site visit and recycling audit, followed by a documented plan built around your sites, your materials and your compliance targets. Where volume justifies it, film is baled at the dock; where it does not yet, we run gaylords or super sacks so nothing stalls. Pickups are scheduled to match your volumes, material is processed at our Ajax, Ontario facility with pelletizing at our Simcoe facility, and every load carries documented weights, diversion figures and destination. If you would rather keep ownership of the material and have it returned as regrind or pellets, our toll grinding and pelletizing service runs the same steps for a fee.
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.
| Film or form | Where it comes from | Grading and handling |
|---|---|---|
| Stretch wrap and pallet wrap | Shipping and receiving docks | Clear natural recovers best; baled is worth materially more than loose. |
| Shrink wrap and bundling film | Packaging lines and inbound pallets | Printed and coloured film grades below clear; keep tape and labels out. |
| Poly bags and liners | Inbound materials and bulk handling | Clean and free of product residue. |
| Sheeting, covers, bubble and void fill | Receiving, storage and outbound packing | Baled where the site justifies a baler; gaylords or super sacks in the meantime. |
| LDPE injection and extrusion scrap | Moulding and extrusion lines | Clean production scrap in gaylords, super sacks or bales. |
Warehouses and distribution centres, packaging plants and film converters, and food and beverage processors generate the most LDPE film. The manufacturers and distributors we work with across Ontario run it through the same program as their other resins: HDPE, PP, PET, PS and PVC, with one point of contact and one audit trail across all of them.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
LDPE and film are one stream in our industrial plastic recycling solutions for Ontario manufacturers and distributors, run alongside HDPE, PP, PET and PS under one contract. If film is only part of what leaves your site, our industrial recycling program covers the rest: waste audits, diversion planning and secured destruction alongside the plastic rebates.
Tell us what you have and roughly how much, and we reply within 48 hours.
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.
Rebates that turn plastic scrap into revenue, trusted by 500+ Canadian businesses.
ISO:14001 certified for compliance and environmental responsibility.
Certificates of destruction and O. Reg. 102/94 audit support for full compliance.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Minimum load is 8,000 lbs. Below that, trucking fees apply.
Yes. Clean film earns a rebate rather than a tipping fee. Clear natural stretch wrap grades highest, and baled film is worth materially more than loose film, because loose film is mostly air.
Yes. Toll grinding means we grind your material to your specification for a fee and return it, so you keep ownership throughout and avoid buying grinding equipment. LDPE is ground at our Ajax facility and pelletized in Simcoe, and the material comes back as regrind or pellets with clear documentation.
To our processing facility in Ajax, Ontario, with pelletizing at our Simcoe facility. Every load carries documented weights and a documented destination, so the tonnage stands up in an ESG disclosure, a corporate landfill-free audit or an O. Reg. 102/94 waste audit.
