  • What kinds of plastic does Mid America Paper Recycling buy?

    Our waste audit covers your organizational recycling goals, current waste volumes and grades, equipment and labor resources, logistics, and any other factors affecting your recycling program. We analyze all of this to identify what you're doing well and where you can improve. The result is a detailed recycling plan that shows the specific value of your waste streams.

  • How much does the waste audit cost?

    The waste audit is completely free. There is no obligation. You start by completing an online survey, and from there we provide a free report on your waste stream along with a recommended improvement plan.

  • How much can a waste audit improve my recycling revenue?

    Companies that have completed a waste audit with us have found they can increase their revenues from paper recycling by up to 50%. Results vary based on current program maturity, waste volumes, and grades, but nearly every facility we audit identifies meaningful improvements.

  • How long does the waste audit process take?

    The process begins with a short online survey that takes about 10 minutes. After submission, our team reviews your responses and follows up to gather any additional details. You'll receive your report and recommendations within a reasonable timeframe, and then we'll schedule a meeting to review findings and agree on next steps.

  • What happens after the waste audit is complete?

    After your approval of the recycling plan, our account service team begins putting it into action. We handle execution, track progress through regular reporting, and hold quarterly reviews to assess performance and refine the plan as needed.

  • Do I need to be a current customer to get a waste audit?

    No. The waste audit is open to any commercial or industrial business interested in improving their recycling program. It is the first step in our process—not a reward for existing customers. Many businesses become long-term partners after seeing the results of their audit.
