Most manufacturers deal with multiple recycling vendors — one for plastics, one for cardboard, one for metals. WinTerra consolidates all of it into a single trailer, a single pickup, and a single point of contact. Less vendors. Less hassle. More recovered.
Our flagship service. We place a 53′ trailer at your facility and handle everything from there — pickup, transport, and delivery to our material recovery facility in Indianapolis.
Designed specifically for high-volume manufacturers, drop and hook means zero coordination overhead on your end. Your team loads on your schedule. We handle the rest.
We currently provide drop and hook service across Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio — with Indianapolis as our logistics hub.
We drop a full-size trailer at your facility. Load it on your own timeline — no scheduling pressure, no disruption to production.
Drop and hook pickup available across Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio. Contact us to confirm coverage for your specific location.
We work exclusively with commercial and industrial accounts. Minimum load requirement is 10,000 lbs. No residential service.
For consistent-volume manufacturers, we can establish a regular pickup cadence so you never have to think about a full trailer again.
Materials are sorted by polymer type and form factor at our Indianapolis facility before being routed to the appropriate processor.
We connect your material with vetted downstream recycling processors — ensuring responsible handling and maximizing recovery value.
WinTerra offers rebates on post-industrial plastic scrap. Fill out our quote form and we'll assess your material and provide rebate pricing.
For consistent-volume manufacturers, we can establish a regular pickup cadence so you never have to think about a full trailer again.
Once your material arrives at our Indianapolis facility, our team sorts, identifies, and stages it for routing to the right downstream processor.
WinTerra acts as the critical middle layer between your plant floor and the recycling processor — handling the logistics and brokerage that most manufacturers don’t have the infrastructure or expertise to manage themselves.
We offer rebates on post-industrial plastic scrap in all forms — rolls, bottles, trays, bins, bales, purge, patties, crates, regrind, pellets, resins, and more.
For select manufacturers, WinTerra offers closed-loop recycling programs that return processed material back into your supply chain — reducing raw material costs and supporting circular economy goals.
We coordinate pickup from your facility, route the material through our recovery process, and deliver it back to your manufacturing lines in a usable form. It’s a more complete solution for companies with the right material volume and internal capability to utilize recycled inputs.
Closed-loop programs are built around your specific requirements — polymer type, form factor, quality specifications, and delivery cadence.
Material leaves your facility as scrap and comes back as a usable input — keeping it in your supply chain and out of landfills.
Recycled inputs typically cost less than virgin material — closed-loop programs can meaningfully reduce your procurement spend over time.
We process material to your exact requirements — including polymer grade, regrind size, and purity standards — before returning it to your lines.
Closed-loop programs come with full tracking and documentation — making it straightforward to report on your circular economy progress.
WinTerra operates an in-house Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer — the gold standard for polymer identification. This means faster turnaround, accurate results, and transparent pricing based on real testing data rather than estimates.
Full identification of polymer type, molecular structure, and key characteristics of your plastic scrap.
You receive an accurate rebate quote based on actual test results — no guesswork, no surprises.
Not sure what your plastic scrap is worth — or even exactly what it is? WinTerra can identify your material down to its exact polymer type and molecular structure, then quote you a price based on test results.
Send us a sample and our in-house FTIR machine and specialist will analyze it and provide a detailed report. This service is especially useful for manufacturers with mixed or unknown scrap streams, or those looking to understand the value of their material before committing to a program.
We're not a massive national recycling conglomerate. We're a locally owned, independently operated business that cares about doing right by our customers, our community, and the environment.
Why manage four different recycling vendors when WinTerra can handle all of it? We accept plastics, cardboard, pallets, and scrap metals — all in the same trailer, on the same pickup, through the same relationship. Simpler for your team and better for your bottom line.
Rolls, bottles, trays, bins, bales, purge, regrind, pellets, resins, and more. Minimum 10,000 lbs per load.
Old corrugated containers and cardboard generated from manufacturing and warehouse operations.
Wood and plastic pallets from manufacturing and distribution facilities. Contact us to discuss volume and condition.
