Bale Route Services

Bale Route Services

If It’s Important to You, It’s Important to Us

At Sunbright, we know that efficient recycling doesn’t stop at collecting boxes and bins. If your business does not produce enough recyclable material to fill a full trailer our bale route service provides a flexible, efficient solution tailored for businesses to smaller volumes. 

Whether you’re a warehouse, retailer, or manufacturer, our bale solutions are designed around your business needs, from equipment rentals and bale pickup to wire supply and rebate programs. We help you recover value from your recyclables and reduce what ends up in the landfill.

Who Is This Service For?

Our bale route service is ideal for: 

  • Businesses generating less than a trailer load of recyclables 
  • Companies with limited storage space 
  • Organizations seeking regular, reliable pickups without the need for large equipment

The Sunbright Bale Route Difference

What sets us apart: 

  • Custom schedules with ad hoc options 
  • Baler rentals with full maintenance included 
  • On-site support & staff training 
  • Reliable rebates and more market access means more materials diverted from landfill 
  • Local, responsive service, because if it’s important to you, it’s important to us 
  • Free waste audit

How It Works

What we do: 

  • Pick up and remove bales of OCC (Old Corrugated Cardboard), paper, shrink wrap, various plastics, metals and other eligible recyclables
  • Provide and maintain baler equipment (rental available) 
  • Deliver baling wire so you never run out 
  • Offer rebates for qualifying recyclable materials 
  • Find new markets for more recyclables, so more of your waste stream is diverted from the landfill 

Pickup options to match your operation: 

  • Scheduled bale pickups on a regular route 
  • On-call or ad hoc pickups when your dock fills up unexpectedly 
  • Quick turnaround, with most pickups within 24 hours

Bales vs. Re-Bales: What’s The Difference?

  • Bales: Properly compacted, tied, and stacked materials that are ready for pickup and resale. 
  • Re-bales: Materials that were once baled but have come loose or were rejected for quality reasons they typically require reprocessing before they can be recycled. 

Sunbright accepts both, and we can advise you on how to reduce re-bales and increase the value of your recyclables.
