Commercial & Industrial Recycling Services in Chattanooga, TN
Turn Production Scrap and Packaging Waste Into Greater Value
Cardboard and paper can leave a commercial facility in two very different ways: as an avoidable disposal expense or as properly prepared material with a market value. The difference often comes down to decisions made on the production floor and at the loading dock.
Mid America Paper Recycling helps Chattanooga-area manufacturers, warehouses, distribution centers and packaging operations improve those decisions. Founded in 1926, we bring 100 years of experience in recovered-fiber markets, processing, brokerage and transportation.
Improve Recovery Where Materials Are Generated
A recycling program works best when employees can separate materials effectively without disrupting daily operations. Collection locations, grade separation, storage conditions and baling practices all affect the quality of the finished material.
MAPR evaluates these steps to identify opportunities to keep clean fiber out of the waste stream, reduce contamination and avoid combining higher-value grades with lower-value material.
Our commercial services include cardboard and OCC recycling, paper recycling, select plastic recycling, bale wire supply, brokerage and transportation coordination.
Connect Better Material Preparation With Better Markets
Consistent bales and properly separated grades can improve marketability. But the final return also depends on buyer requirements, available demand and transportation costs.
As an independent processor and broker, Mid America Paper Recycling evaluates potential destinations alongside the expense of moving material. For operations generating full truckload quantities, we can determine whether mill-direct shipping may reduce intermediate handling and improve overall recycling economics.
Our recommendations connect what happens inside your facility with what your business earns from its recyclables.
