Service Highlight: Collections and Logistics
At Quincy Recycle, we strive to be a one-stop-shop solution to our customers and vendors. Our Collections and Logistics services help us achieve that goal and ensures we are providing the best service levels to our partners throughout each step of the recycling process.
What is Collections and Logistics?
In the recycling industry and particularly here at Quincy Recycle, we often “spot trailers” at our vendor’s facilities. That simply means we park an empty trailer at our partner’s loading dock for them to fill with their scrap material, such as plastics and metals. Once the trailer is full, a driver comes and hooks up to the trailer and hauls it away to one of our locations to be sorted and processed. Pretty simple, right? It may seem that way, but managing collections and logistics can present certain challenges.
In the past, we’ve primarily outsourced the collections process to local carriers. But, back in 2015, we started to ask ourselves if there was a better way to handle this part of our business. While we have many great relationships with local carrier partners, we would often find ourselves lacking control over certain aspects of the process. Things like scheduling, vehicle maintenance, and customer service standards were out of our hands. Those are all factors that can make or break the customer service experience for our partners.
Ultimately, we decided that to deliver consistent and reliable service that we’d need to take control of collections and logistics. So, five years ago in our St. Louis, MO location, QRP Logistics was born.
Why is controlling the collections process so important?
It’s easy to forget that the most frequent interactions our partners have with Quincy Recycle are with the drivers who pick up the trailers from their facilities. Those drivers are an extension of our business. They represent Quincy Recycle and who better to represent us than our own employees.
Our drivers are full-time employees at Quincy Recycle. They are part of our team and understand our business and are aligned with our vision and core values. When they show up to a vendor facility, they are in a branded Quincy Recycle truck cab, wearing a Quincy Recycle uniform, and provide a service experience consistent with the rest of our organization.
By taking back control of the process, we’ve been able to make the collections process more efficient and more reliable for our partners. Some key benefits include:
- Flexible pickup scheduling with the ability to offer 24-hour turnaround vendor pickup requests.
- Our drivers are part of the team and they know our business. They can often help solve problems on the spot, should they arise.
- Keeping the process in-house allows us to maintain competitive freight and material pricing.
- Consistent and reliable service experiences every time our driver is at your facility.
QRP Logistics – Past, Present, and Future
We already touched on how our in-house collections and logistics service began in St. Louis, MO back in 2015. Since then it has expanded into additional locations including West Bend, WI and Alsip, IL. Most recently we launched QRP Logistics at our Cedar Rapids, IA location. The results have been extremely positive so far and they’re already looking to add additional trucks and drivers to the mix to help keep up with the workload demands.
“It’s allowed us to provide great customer service. Our drivers interact with contacts at vendor facilities regularly and having them be Quincy Recycle employees is invaluable.” – Chad Crawford (General Manager – Cedar Rapids, IA)
QRP Logistics has allowed us to achieve greater alignment across our organization and our services offerings. In the end, it’s simple. We want to provide the absolute highest level of customer service possible. QRP Logistics helps us to achieve that goal and is something we’ll continue to invest in and grow. It’s an important component of our service offering and one that allows us to be the one-stop-shop solution our partners are looking for.

Why Businesses Are Choosing Quincy Recycle as Their Go-To Bale Wire Supplier
Finding a bale wire supplier you can trust shouldn’t feel like a gamble. Yet many companies deal with frustrating delays, unpredictable stock, or wire that doesn’t meet their needs. These supplier issues disrupt operations, waste time, and create uncertainty that no business can afford.

Here’s why businesses are leaving their old suppliers behind and partnering with Quincy Recycle for their bale wire needs.
The Frustration of Unreliable Bale Wire Suppliers
If you’ve ever had to pause your baler because of a late wire delivery or dealt with wire that wasn’t up to par, you know the toll it takes. Common supplier problems create ripple effects across your workflow. Here’s what many businesses face before switching to Quincy Recycle:
- Slow Deliveries: Waiting weeks for wire shipments throws off your schedule, leaving you scrambling to keep up with demand.
- Stock Inconsistencies: Suppliers who run out of inventory or send mismatched products force you to adapt on the fly, risking inefficiencies.

Stop Overpaying for Bale Wire: Save More with Quincy Recycle’s Competitive Prices
Bale wire keeps your recycling operation moving, but are you paying too much for it? Many businesses assume they’re getting a fair price, only to find their budget strained by unexpected expenses tied to low-cost, low-quality wire. From wasted time to extra labor, the wrong bale wire can quietly eat into your profits.
Quincy Recycle offers premium bale wire at competitive prices, helping you avoid these costly traps without sacrificing performance. Our wire ensures your bales stay intact, your team stays productive, and your wallet stays healthy.
Ready to rethink what you’re spending on bale wire? Here’s how Quincy Recycle delivers better value for your business.
Why Cheap Bale Wire Costs You More
It’s easy to pick the lowest-priced bale wire, thinking it’ll stretch your budget further. But bargain wire often brings problems that outweigh any initial savings. Here’s what you’re likely facing with low-cost options:
- Unreliable Performance: Inconsistent wire fails to hold bales together, leading to spills that slow down your team and waste materials like cardboard or plastic.
- Extra Labor: When bales break, your staff spends valuable time cleaning up and reprocessing, driving up payroll costs.
- Operational Delays: Frequent wire issues force you to pause your baler, creating bottlenecks that disrupt your entire schedule.
- Hidden Expenses: Replacing failed wire or dealing with rejected bales at recycling centers adds costs you didn’t plan for.
These headaches turn a “deal” into a drain on your resources. Quincy Recycle’s bale wire is priced to balance affordability with dependability, so you avoid these pitfalls and keep your operation on track.
How Quincy Recycle Saves You Money
Our bale wire isn’t just about a lower price tag; it’s about delivering long-term savings that make your business more efficient. Here’s how we help you get more for less:
1. Competitive Pricing for Every Budget
We know cost matters. Quincy Recycle’s bale wire is priced to fit your financial goals, offering premium performance without the premium cost. You’ll spend less upfront and avoid the expenses tied to wire failures.
2. Fewer Disruptions
Our wire is designed to keep bales secure, reducing the chances of breaks that halt your workflow. This means your team can focus on processing materials, not fixing problems, saving you hours of downtime.
3. Fast, Reliable Delivery
Running out of wire can derail your day. We offer nationwide shipping that gets bale wire to your door quickly, so you’re never stuck waiting. Timely delivery keeps your baler running and your schedule intact.
4. All-in-One Convenience
Why juggle multiple suppliers? Quincy Recycle provides bale wire alongside other recycling solutions, like balers and equipment support. This one-stop approach saves you time and simplifies your purchasing process.
By choosing Quincy Recycle, you’re investing in a solution that cuts costs beyond the invoice, helping you work smarter and spend wiser.
Why Price Isn’t the Whole Story
When shopping for bale wire, it’s tempting to focus only on the dollar amount. But a low price doesn’t mean value if the wire causes more problems than it solves. Think of it like buying discount tools–they might be cheap, but they break fast, leaving you back at square one. Quincy Recycle’s bale wire strikes the perfect balance: competitive pricing paired with reliability to keep your bales moving out the door.
Our customers notice the difference. Businesses switching to our wire often find they order less frequently because they’re not burning through replacements. Others save on labor by avoiding the constant cleanup of broken bales. These small wins add up, turning a smart purchase into a strategic advantage.

How Quincy Recycle Supports American Industry with Recycling Solutions
In the heart of American industry, where manufacturing and production drive economic growth, managing waste efficiently is more critical than ever. Quincy Recycle stands as a vital partner to businesses nationwide, offering innovative recycling solutions that not only tackle waste stream challenges but also bolster the resilience and competitiveness of U.S. industries. With nearly five decades of experience, a nationwide network, and a commitment to sustainability, Quincy Recycle is redefining how American companies turn waste into opportunity.
Empowering Manufacturers with Tailored Waste Management
American manufacturers, from automotive plants to food processors, face unique waste challenges – scrap metal, plastic byproducts, and paper waste pile up quickly in high-output environments. Quincy Recycle steps in with customized recycling programs that transform these materials into reusable resources. By analyzing each client’s specific waste stream, their team designs solutions that maximize material recovery while minimizing disposal costs. This tailored approach ensures that a manufacturing plant in Michigan or a warehouse in Texas can operate leaner, redirecting funds once spent on waste hauling back into production.
Take, for example, a Midwest packaging plant generating stacks of used cardboard daily. Instead of sending this material to landfills, Quincy Recycle coordinates its collection, processing, and resale to paper mills, creating a closed-loop system that keeps cardboard in circulation. This not only cuts costs for the plant but also reduces the demand for virgin pulp, supporting a more self-reliant American supply chain.
Strengthening the Supply Chain with Nationwide Reach
One of Quincy Recycle’s standout strengths is its national footprint. With facilities strategically located across the Midwest and a robust network of partners spanning the country, they bring recycling solutions to industries wherever they operate. This geographic flexibility is a game-changer for multi-site manufacturers who need consistent, reliable waste management across state lines.
This nationwide reach also supports American industry by keeping recycling local. Rather than shipping waste overseas, Quincy Recycle processes materials domestically, feeding them back into U.S. markets. For instance, plastic waste from a California packaging plant might be reborn as resin for a new product in Ohio, shortening supply chains and reducing reliance on foreign imports – a critical advantage in today’s unpredictable global economy.
Boosting Economic Resilience Through Revenue Opportunities
Recycling with Quincy Recycle isn’t just about waste reduction – it’s about revenue generation. By buying and selling reusable items like Gaylord boxes or processing scrap into marketable commodities, they help businesses uncover hidden value in their waste streams. A furniture maker in Georgia, for instance, might sell its excess cardboard totes to Quincy, who then supplies them to a retailer in Illinois. This exchange creates a new income stream for the manufacturer while keeping materials in use longer.
This focus on economic return is a lifeline for industries navigating tight margins. By offsetting production costs with recycling revenue, companies can reinvest in equipment, workforce training, or expansion – key drivers of American industrial growth. Quincy Recycle’s expertise in commodity trading ensures that businesses get top dollar for their materials, reinforcing their financial stability.
A Partner in America’s Industrial Future
At its core, Quincy Recycle is more than a service provider – it’s a partner in building a stronger, more sustainable American industry. Their work reduces environmental footprints, yes, but it also fortifies the economic backbone of the nation. By keeping resources domestic, creating jobs in recycling and logistics, and helping companies thrive amid global challenges, they’re proving that sustainability and industrial success go hand in hand.
As American industries evolve, Quincy Recycle remains a steady ally, adapting to new materials, regulations, and market needs. Whether it’s a small factory or a sprawling corporation, their mission is clear: turn waste into a win for businesses, communities, and the country. In a time when resilience matters most, Quincy Recycle is helping American industry not just survive, but lead.
