TRANSPORTATION SOLUTIONS FOR THE RECYCLING INDUSTRY

Recycling

industry challenges

The clutter that occurs at shipping and receiving docks can make it difficult or hazardous for plants, DCs, and retailers to operate. Efficient and timely movement and haul-away of cartons, crates, metal strapping, plastic and other recyclables requires its own supply chain.

A flexible and scalable transportation program is needed to move refuse and recyclables from customer sites to recycling centers. As your transportation partner, Cardinal brings the experience, technology, and service-oriented drivers to balance service, cost, and can flex to meet fluctuations in demand.
