What We Do

Depackaging

Specializing in the destruction and recycling of pre-consumer, unsalable food and beverage products, E-Z Recycling has large destruction stations that are capable of depackaging any sized projects. From one pallet of product to semi-truck loads, E-Z Recycling accepts packaged foods and beverages, empty containers, and ingredients. Through the depackaging process, the food and beverage contents are separated from their packaging in preparation for recycling. E-Z Recycling captures and recycles nearly 98% of all recyclable materials, benefiting a circular economy.

Processing

Once materials are depackaged and separated, food and beverage waste is captured, sent to a processing facility, and transformed into biogas—a clean, renewable energy source that contributes to powering local electrical grids and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. This process not only diverts waste from landfills but also plays a critical role in lowering greenhouse gas emissions and supporting long-term environmental sustainability. Through innovative energy recovery, E-Z Recycling is turning everyday waste into a powerful resource for a greener future.

Recycling

After separating products, recyclable materials are carefully sorted to reduce landfill waste and support a circular economy. E-Z Recycling accepts packaged products including glass, cardboard, plastic, steel, and aluminum—along with bulk packaging and empty containers. E-Z Recycling also accepts deliveries in gaylords, pallets, totes, or tanker trucks. By recycling these materials, we help reduce the need for virgin resources and contribute to the creation of eco-friendly products like recycled plastic building materials, sustainable clothing, glass bottles, and aluminum cans—protecting our environment for future generations.
