Materials We Recycle
At Federal Recycling, we are 100% focused on recycling and diverting all waste from landfills.
Recycling is our sole business, not a side business
With our independent position and flexibility, we offer the best possible value for your recyclables.
Paper
Recycling looks good on paper. With our roots in paper recycling, we are experts in this recyclable commodity. We give you the best value for your paper recyclables and help you do your part in natural resource conservation.
Cardboard
Cardboard is highly resilient and recyclable, and relied upon for making new paper-based products. We recycle your cardboard, loose or baled, and prepare it for reuse in manufacturing.
Plastic
Plastic is plentiful and comes in many forms that are recyclable. No matter the grade, we find a home for your plastic products, even the most hard-to-recycle plastics.
Metal
Ferrous metals, primarily iron and steel, and non-ferrous metals, those that do not contain iron, are highly valuable recyclable commodities. We help you make the most of your metal byproducts with our sophisticated metal recycling operations.
Pallets
Pallets move the world as an essential product for shipping and logistics, along with storage. With our state-of-the-art pallet recycling operations, we buy or refurbish your pallets, or upcycle by grinding them into mulch or wood chips.
Foam
Foam is essential to recycle because its long-lasting polymers prevent it from decomposing, which can have negative environmental impacts. We provide ways to recycle your foam byproducts, including placing commercial recycling equipment to prepare your material for pick up, finding buyers for your foam scrap or materials, and transporting your byproduct to mechanical or chemical recycling facilities.
Glass
Glass is a strong material that is not biodegradable so it’s important to keep it out of landfills. Glass is easily recyclable and can be melted down and reformed repeatedly. Rather than trashing your glass, let us assist you with recycling it.
Food Waste
Recycling food waste through composting instead of sending it to a landfill reduces the amount of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, that is released into the atmosphere. We can find responsible and sustainable ways to recycle your food waste and help you minimize your environmental impact.
The Recycling Process
As one of the largest independent recycling companies nationally, we process thousands of tons of recyclables annually. We promptly pick up your materials, loose or baled, and separate and process them for shipping to paper mills or other manufacturers to be remade into consumable products.
