The minimum quantity to sell film extrusion scrap is 20,000 lbs.
What Information Should I Send Before Getting a Quote?
Before getting a quote, the information you need to send us to sell film extrusion scrap is the following:
- Resin type and grade: LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, PP, or PVC, along with natural or colored classification.
- Form of the material: loose rolls, baled film, gaylords, or regrind, since form affects freight and processing costs.
- Approximate weight or volume: even a rough estimate helps us size the right buyer channel for your load.
- Photos of the material: a few clear shots showing color, cleanliness, and packaging condition.
- Your facility location: for freight planning and pickup scheduling.
- Pickup frequency: a one-time load or a recurring stream, since recurring volume often earns stronger standing pricing.
How to Prepare Film Extrusion Scrap for Sale
To prepare film extrusion scrap for sale, follow this step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Sort Film by Resin Type and Color
Separate LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, and PP film into their own collection points, and keep clear film away from colored or printed film.
Step 2: Remove Contamination Before It Leaves the Line
Pull out tape, cardboard cores, metal cores, and any printed labels stuck to the film before it gets baled or bagged.
Step 3: Bale or Compact the Film to Reduce Volume
Loose film takes up far more truck space than baled film, and that extra volume drives up freight costs on every load. Baling your film scrap lowers transportation costs and typically improves your net return per pound. If your facility does not have baling equipment, we can connect you with partner facilities that offer consolidation and baling services before pickup.
Step 4: Palletize and Stage the Load for Pickup
Stack your baled or bagged film on pallets near a dock door with forklift access, so pickup crews can load quickly without disrupting your operation. A staged load cuts down on dwell time and keeps freight costs predictable. Weigh your load if scale access is available, and note the count of bales or bags so our team can confirm details before the truck arrives.
How Much Is Film Extrusion Scrap Worth Per Pound?
Film extrusion scrap prices in the United States fluctuate from month to month. The best way to estimate how much your plastic scrap from film extrusion is worth is to request a direct quote.
What Factors Affect the Price of Film Extrusion Scrap?
The price of film extrusion scrap is affected by resin type, color, contamination level, load volume, and current buyer demand across domestic and export markets.
Clear film consistently earns more than colored or printed film, since it requires less reprocessing before it can go back into new products. LLDPE stretch film tends to be one of the more stable performers due to steady demand from film manufacturers.
Volume plays a role too. Larger, consistent loads reduce the per-pound cost of freight and handling, which usually translates into stronger net pricing for the seller.
None of these factors move in isolation, which is part of why a fixed price sheet rarely reflects what a load is actually worth on a given week. A direct quote accounts for all of them together.
How Does Carlin Waste Recycling Price Film Extrusion Scrap?
We price plastic scrap from film extrusion by matching every load against active buyers through our resin recycling and processing network, rather than quoting off a single fixed rate sheet.
