Waste Recovery & Processing Services

Maximize Material Value. Minimize Environmental Impact.

At ALTA Recycling, we turn waste into opportunity. Our Waste Recovery & Processing Services help businesses and organizations across industries extract maximum value from discarded materials—diverting them from landfills and repurposing them for reuse, recycling, or responsible disposal.

Whether you’re dealing with manufacturing byproducts, food waste, expired consumer goods, or post-consumer packaging, our innovative solutions prioritize efficiency, compliance, and sustainability at every step.

What We Do

Material Recovery

We recover valuable materials from waste streams—including plastics, metals, cardboard, paper, and for reintegration into the supply chain or recycling markets.

Specialized Processing

Alta Recycling operates and partners with advanced facilities capable of processing a wide range of waste types, including:

  • Industrial and commercial waste

Product Destruction

Need to securely dispose of recalled, expired, or branded products? We ensure safe, certified destruction while recovering recyclable content wherever possible.
