Hard Plastic Recycling

Helping you responsibly recycle hard plastic

We are pleased to offer a hard plastics recycling program to Wisconsin organizations that can facilitate a manned and monitored recycling program for hard plastic recycling. Please contact us directly to inquire about starting a program at your business or municipal location. Hard plastic recyclables must be kept separate from all other recyclable materials and cannot be combined with other recyclables. Hard plastic recycling is not currently accepted for recycling in residential curbside recycling or commercial single-stream recycling, please do not place hard plastics in your current recycling bin or recycling dumpster. As community-based programs evolve and are made available to residents, we will list those locations here. At this time, there is no site available to the public for hard plastic recycling.

How It Works

  • STEP 1

    Take your plastic waste to your community drop-off site

  • STEP 2

    Pellitteri picks up the plastic waste and ships it to the Brightmark Circularity Center

  • STEP 3

    Brightmark’s one-of-a-kind Plastics Renewal technology turns the plastic waste into products that are sent to our customers, which can be used for future lives as ISCC PLUS-certified circular plastic products.
