Common Questions About Plastic Recycling Solutions
Can my business earn money by recycling plastic?
Absolutely! When compacted and properly prepared, plastic trash becomes a valuable material. Many recycling companies pay for it—especially when processed using a Mil-tek baler—turning your trash into a source of revenue and reducing disposal costs.
What types of plastic can be recycled?
A wide range of plastics can be recycled, including plastic film, shrink wrap, PET, HDPE, and various types of packaging plastic—provided they are correctly sorted and clean.
Do I need a large area for a plastic baler?
Not at all. Mil-tek offers compact balers designed for small spaces, along with larger models suited for industrial-scale operations. We help match the machine to your available space and trash volume.
Is renting a baler a smart option for seasonal businesses?
Yes. Our flexible rental plans are ideal for businesses with peak seasons. Renting allows you to expand your recycling capacity when needed—without a large upfront investment.
How does compacting plastic improve operational efficiency?
Compacting reduces plastic volume by up to 90%. This minimizes storage needs, reduces the frequency of trash pickups, and makes handling easier for your team—saving both time and space.
How do I know which recycling solution is right for my business?
Mil-tek offers free trash audits to evaluate your operations and recommend the most efficient plastic baler or compactor to meet your needs and sustainability goals.
