LJP Waste Solutions’ Recycling Services

When you request a consultation from our team, we will come to your location and host a discovery meeting. During that meeting, we will learn about your process, who you currently use for your recycling needs, and fully study everything about your process. We want to know your workflow strategy, how many employees you have, how much waste moves through the facility, and more. From there, we will design a new system that specifically fits your business’s needs. We don’t offer a quote and leave it up to you. We show you that we are the experts, and we will provide you with a state-of-the-art solution.

After we help you implement your new process, we will send our team back to your facility to help you get the system off the ground. We typically rent or sell you compactors, 60-inch balers, and more to process your waste into their separate categories. After your waste is processed, we send our semitrucks out for collection and bring your materials back to our facility. As soon as you and your employees are trained, you can hit the ground running to meet your sustainability goals.

In your new operation, we will show you how to separate your materials into similar groups in order to be properly recycled and converted into fuel as part of our zero landfill initiative. After you have separated your materials into their categories, such as specific plastics, appliances, tires, containers, shrink wrap, and more, you then finish processing them. To finish the waste solutions process, you put the materials into the baler to crush them. When they are crushed, you can create a bale of recyclable materials that is close to 1,000 pounds, which depends on how much material you put in the machine in the first place. The bales are then extracted from the machines and moved onto pallets for transportation to our facility.

When your materials are ready to be transported as part of our zero landfill initiative, we will send semitrucks to your facility to collect the bales and transport them to LJP’s headquarters. At our headquarters, we remove the bales from the trucks with forklifts before weighing them to see how much material you sent us. This number is put in the detailed report we provide to you.

As soon as the materials are in our facility, we begin our audit. We determine how much of each material, such as plastic and cardboard, was brought into the building. From there, our experts decide whether it can be converted into fuel and what can be recycled for reuse. During the audit, we keep track of every piece of material that comes through our door so it is accurately marked in our system. We then shred the materials so they can be re-baled and compacted. Before the materials are compacted again, we determine if they are combustible or not. If they are, we send them to Xcel Energy to be used as Refuse-Derived Fuel. Recyclable materials are then bought by other companies and transported to be recycled at their facilities. If you have materials, like private records, that cannot be reused or recycled, but you do not want them stolen from the landfill, we can shred the materials as part of our product destruction, as well.

We provide each of you and each of our other clients with detailed reports showing all the progress you made toward your sustainability goals. The report details how many pounds of cardboard, plastic, and more your company turned in, as well as how much of it was recycled and how much was turned into fuel. When you start doing business with us, we can send you these reports at predetermined times, and from then on you can decide if you want them more or less often.
