Recycle Equipment

Service Spotlight: Quincy Recycle Equipment Division

Industrial and Commercial Manufacturers have a lot going on within their facilities. They are moving a ton of product in and out every day and producing a lot of scrap recyclable material along the way. Finding an efficient way to manage and prepare that scrap for recycling is an area many just simply don’t know where to start. Wouldn’t it be nice to partner with someone who can help you find the best recycling equipment for your business?

That’s where Quincy Recycle can help. We partner with companies all over the U.S. to help them achieve their waste reduction and sustainability goals. Our Equipment Sales and Service division is just one of the many services we offer to make it easy for our partners to manage their waste stream.

Helping companies manage their waste stream from early on.

Here at Quincy Recycle, we’ve always worked to help our customers get connected with the right equipment for their business’ needs. Over the years, many of our partners would come to us with questions and for help with their equipment needs. After a while, we started thinking – what if we took a more proactive approach to this side of our business? So, that’s just what we did.

Tom Saylor heads up the Equipment Division here at Quincy Recycle and he’s been hard at work establishing a nationwide network of service providers to help our partners from coast-to-coast.

We take a personal approach with each of our customers/vendors to find the right piece of equipment for their needs. – Tom Saylor, General Manager – Quincy Recycle Equipment Division

It’s more than just sales and service. Through the process, we also help educate our partners on how to make it easier to put their waste stream to better use.

Flexible Commercial Recycling Equipment Solutions

Choosing recycling equipment is not a one-size-fits-all situation. Each business’ needs are different. Quincy Recycle is an authorized distributor of a wide range of recycling equipment from several equipment suppliers. That’s important to us and our partners because it provides the flexibility to secure the best equipment for each of the businesses we work with. Here are just a few of the more common pieces of equipment you’ll find our vendor partners using in their facilities.

Large blue machinery used for processing recycled materials.

Vertical Balers

A Vertical Baler is often considered an introductory style machine and can handle waste streams up to 50 tons of material each month.

 

Large blue horizontal baler used for processing recycled materials. Horizontal Balers

These machines typically include a conveyor system and are suitable for helping prepare a variety of different materials, such as cardboard, paper, and plastics for efficient transport.

 

 

Large blue compactor used for processing recycled materials. Compactors

You’ll find compactors almost anywhere where waste is managed, and they are extremely versatile. With several styles available, it’s easy to find an option that makes sense for your business.

 

 

 

 

And, those are just a few examples of the equipment choices available. Make sure to check out our Recycling Equipment Sales page for more information and contact our team with additional questions.

Why is the Equipment Sales and Service Division so important?

For us, it’s another piece of the puzzle to building a complete, one-stop solution for our vendors and customers. Managing the logistics of the recycling process can be daunting and it’s important for us to make that process as easy as possible for our partners. That starts with setting them up with the best equipment for their facility.

Since they can process and bale their scrap right away, it’s easier to keep organized and contained while still in their facility. No loose scrap lying around means a cleaner and more importantly, a safer facility. Plus, the right equipment allows for a much more efficient way for customers to prepare their scrap for pickup and transit.

Without the right equipment, manufacturers may be forced to either pay to have someone haul their material to the landfill, which is bad for their bottom line and the environment OR pay extra to send loose scrap to be sorted by hand at a recycling facility. By taking full advantage of our Equipment Sales and Service team, our partners avoid those extra costs, and not to mention – valuable time.

So, how can Equipment Sales and Service from Quincy Recycle help make the recycling process run smoother for your business? It’s simple really. We set you up with the right equipment for your business. Our team listens to your pain points and takes the time to understand what it’ll take to help put your waste stream to work for you.

Partner with Quincy Recycle and Stop Overpaying for Bale Wire

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

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.

Ready to turn your waste into a competitive edge? Contact Quincy Recycle today to discover how their tailored recycling solutions can support your business and strengthen American industry. 

 

Cedar Rapids Starts 2025 With A Bang!

This month, we’re turning the spotlight on our high-performing Cedar Rapids plant, where big things are happening! We checked in with General Manager Chad Crawford to get the inside scoop on all the momentum, wins, and behind-the-scenes magic happening in Iowa. Trust us — you’re going to want to read this one!

We’ve got serious momentum in Iowa as we roll into the second quarter of 2025! We closed out Q1 with a bang — increasing our plant tons sold by over 10% compared to the same period last year. On the brokerage side, we continue to lead the Company and are well on our way to another record-setting year.

At the tail end of 2024, we made a major investment in our facility with the installation of a new baler. It’s been a game changer — easily handling the increased volume coming in and boosting our efficiency. We’ve seen less downtime, better throughput, and more flexibility in how we utilize our plant floor space, which ultimately means more tons shipped each month.

To keep pace with the growth, we’ve also optimized our plant staffing model — ensuring we’ve got the right people in the right places to keep material flowing quickly and efficiently.

But without a doubt, the real driver of our success is our team. Our plant crew has been crushing it, and our office staff continues to perform at a high level. What sets this group apart is the teamwork. They’re not just good at what they do — they’re quick to jump in and help, no matter what’s needed. Around here, you’ll never hear, “that’s not my job.”

 

Sales Team Highlights

Steve Skidmore (Business Development, 7 years)
Steve is on fire this year! His book of business has grown significantly on both the plant and brokerage fronts, and his pipeline is as full as I’ve ever seen it. I expect 2025 to be his best year yet — and don’t be surprised if he ends up climbing the leaderboard in a big way.

Colin Malanaphy (Sales Coordinator, 6 years)
Colin is managing the largest brokerage book in the Company — over 15,000 tons/month of (mostly) organic waste. This is no small feat, and he makes it look effortless. Truly impressive work.

Katie Plasa (Sales Coordinator, 4 years)
Katie has formed a strong partnership with Steve, and the brokerage business they manage together has taken off. Despite the jump in volume, she’s handled the influx of new accounts like a pro, all while keeping existing relationships running smoothly.

 

Account Management & Logistics

Gretchen Meyer (Inbound Accounts and Logistics Coordinator, 7 years)
Gretchen continues to be a rockstar — keeping the inbound material flow steady and maintaining great relationships with both drivers and 3rd-party carriers. She’s a natural problem solver and always flags potential issues before they turn into real problems.

Jorge Anaya (Outbound Accounts and Logistics Coordinator, 1 year)
Jorge has hit the ground running in year two. He works closely with our ops team to forecast outbound loads and makes real-time adjustments like a seasoned pro. His upbeat attitude and reliability have been a fantastic addition to the CDR crew.

 

Operations

Steven Skidmore (Operations Manager, 4 years)
Steven has wrapped up his first full year at CDR and has truly made his mark. He brings energy and enthusiasm every day and has quickly earned the respect of our veteran plant crew. His recent shift and staffing adjustments are already positioning us for continued success through 2025 and beyond.
