Sell LDPE Scrap
Don’t let LDPE plastic pile up, we can pay you for it.
What LDPE Does Carlin Waste Recycling Buy?
LDPE Forms We Accept
We buy post-industrial and post-commercial LDPE across the United States. We accept different forms of the material, such as:
- Clear LDPE film: One of the highest-value grades available, with strong and consistent buyer demand.
- Stretch film and stretch wrap: A reliable, high-volume supply generated at distribution centers and warehouses that buyers actively want.
- Flexible packaging film: Accepted from food or consumer goods manufacturing when contamination levels are low.
- Plastic liners: Including those used in drums, boxes, or bulk containers, as long as they are free of residue.
Who Can Sell LDPE to Carlin Waste Recycling?
You are a great fit to sell LDPE to us if you are in the United States and:
- You are a manufacturing operation generating LDPE film, liners, or flexible packaging as a byproduct of production, and you need reliable scheduled pickups that do not slow down your line.
- You run a Third-Party Logistics (3PL) or distribution facility where stretch film and packaging scrap accumulate quickly and cluttering the dock is not an option.
- You are a foodservice distributor handling food-grade film or plastic liners and need a recycling partner that understands compliance and traceability.
- You are a small commercial recycler looking for a broker that offers fair pricing, fast payments, and access to competitive markets without the bureaucratic back-and-forth.
Can You Get Paid for LDPE Scrap?
Yes, you can get paid for LDPE scrap by selling it to a recycling broker like Carlin Waste Recycling, but the condition of the material matters more than most people realize. Clean, uncontaminated LDPE film and stretch wrap will earn you a competitive rate per pound, while heavily mixed or dirty loads will yield less or may not qualify at all. The cleanest loads move the fastest and pay the best.
What Is the Minimum Quantity to Sell LDPE?
The minimum quantity to sell LDPE is 20,000 lbs.
What Information Should I Send Before Getting a Quote?

Prepare LDPE for Sale:
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Separate and Sort Your LDPE by Form and Color
Group clear film separately from colored or opaque material, since clear grades consistently command higher rates. Setting up designated collection containers or zones at the point of generation is the most efficient way to handle this long term.
Step 2: Remove Contamination and Non-LDPE Materials
Remove tape, labels, cardboard, food residue, liquids, and any other non-plastic materials from your LDPE before it is weighed or baled.
Step 3: Compact or Bale the Material
Compacting or baling your material into dense, uniform bales before pickup reduces transportation costs and can increase what you are paid per pound. If baling equipment is not available at your facility, loose film in bags or boxes is still accepted.
Step 4: Contact Carlin Waste Recycling and Schedule Your Pickup
Once your material is sorted, cleaned, and ready to move, get in touch with our team. Share the details outlined above, and our team will evaluate your material, confirm the pricing, and schedule a pickup that works around your operations.
How Much Is LDPE Worth Per Pound?
LDPE prices in the United States fluctuate from month to month. The best way to estimate how much your LDPE is worth is to request a direct quote.
What Factors Affect the Price of LDPE?
The price of LDPE is affected by:
- Cleanliness: This is the most immediate factor because contaminated loads require additional processing, which reduces the buyer’s margin and gets passed back to you as a lower offer.
- Color and clarity: Clear and natural LDPE fetches more than mixed or colored loads.
- Volume and consistency: Larger, consistent loads are more attractive to buyers and typically command better rates than small or irregular quantities.
- Broader market conditions: Global resin demand, oil prices, and export activity influence what buyers are willing to pay at any given time.
- Freight and location: Transportation costs based on your pickup location affect the final net you receive after logistics are accounted for.
- Form: Baled or densified LDPE is worth more in practice than loose material because it costs less to transport and store, even when the nominal price per pound is the same.
- Regional supply and demand: Short-term pricing opportunities can emerge in local markets, and a well-connected broker can identify and act on them quickly.

FAQs About Selling LDPE
Does Carlin Waste Recycling Buy LDPE Nationwide?
Yes, Carlin Waste Recycling buys LDPE from businesses across the United States. Our network gives us access to buyers and processors in multiple regions, which means we can coordinate pickups and competitive pricing regardless of where your facility is.
Does Carlin Waste Recycling Offer Recurring LDPE Pickups?
Yes, Carlin Waste Recycling offers recurring LDPE pickups for businesses that generate film, stretch wrap, or liners on a consistent basis. We build a pickup schedule around your production rhythm so material does not accumulate on your floor longer than it needs to.
Is LDPE More Expensive than HDPE?
No, LDPE is not more expensive than HDPE in most market conditions. High-Density Polyethylene typically commands a higher price per pound because it has broader end-market applications, greater structural rigidity, and stronger demand from domestic processors. The practical takeaway is that LDPE and HDPE serve separate markets with separate buyers, and neither is universally more or less valuable in every scenario.
Can I Sell LDPE That Is Mixed With Other Plastics?
No, you cannot sell LDPE that is mixed with other plastics. The best approach is to keep your LDPE separate from other resin types from the point of generation.
