If your Arkansas facility generates clean, post-industrial plastic scrap, Seraphim Plastics can turn that byproduct into a reliable revenue stream—while freeing up floor space and helping you hit sustainability targets. We specialize in buying and picking up sorted industrial plastics from manufacturers, warehouses, and distribution centers across the state, including Little Rock, North Little Rock, Benton/Bryant, Conway, Fort Smith, Fayetteville, Springdale, Rogers, Bentonville, Jonesboro, Pine Bluff, and Hot Springs.
We’re built for B2B efficiency: transparent pricing, clear specs, and a simple logistics process that keeps your operations moving.
What We Buy (Post-Industrial, Clean & Sorted)
We focus on clean, segregated, post-industrial materials—not curbside or post-consumer streams. Common items include:
- HDPE & PP: pallets, crates, totes, dunnage trays, 5-gallon buckets (no metal handles), pipe, sheets, and trims
- LDPE/LLDPE: stretch/shrink film (clean and dry), poly bags, sheeting
- PET: clean PET strapping, edge trim, bottles from controlled industrial lines
- ABS, PC, Nylon & other engineered resins: purge, sprues/runners, regrind (single resin only)
- Production byproducts: purge, sprues/runners, regrind, start-up scrap, edge trim
- Gaylord boxes and super sacks (often part of logistics backhauls)
To keep value high (and pricing strong), material should be free of trash, liquid, food residue, metal, labels, and mixed resins. If you’re unsure whether your plastic meets spec, we’ll review samples and advise the best preparation method.

Arkansas Industries We Commonly Support
- Food & Beverage Processing (clean film, buckets, ingredient tubs)
- Warehousing & Distribution (stretch wrap, totes, pallets, dunnage)
- Retail & E-commerce Fulfillment (film, strapping, poly mailers—if clean)
- Automotive & Industrial Suppliers (purge, runners, regrind, trays)
- Plastics & Packaging Manufacturers (edge trim, sheet, roll scrap)
- Agriculture & Outdoor Products (HDPE/PP components, bins, trays)
Whether you’re a single plant outside Little Rock or a statewide network of DCs around Northwest Arkansas, we tailor pickups to your volume, material mix, and production cadence.
How Pickup Works (Simple, Fast, Documented)
- Material Review & Pricing
Send photos/specs or samples. We verify resin type (e.g., HDPE, PP), cleanliness, and form (baled film, gaylords of regrind, stacked totes/pallets). Then we quote based on market conditions and your load consistency.
- Preparation Guidance
We’ll recommend best practices to maximize value: bale film to mill-ready density, keep regrind single-resin, remove metal handles from buckets, and stage gaylords for quick loading. Clear prep means smoother pickups and better pricing.
- Scheduling & Logistics
We coordinate truckload pickups (and, in some cases, recurring LTL solutions where feasible). Our dispatch team books the truck, aligns with your dock hours, and provides any needed documentation for gate access.
- Loading & Scale Tickets
Your team loads staged material; we handle bill of lading and scale documentation. If you need photos, weights, or material tallies for ESG or internal reporting, we can provide that.
- Payment
You get prompt, transparent payment aligned to the agreed terms. Many Arkansas customers appreciate the predictable cash flow from scheduled, recurring pickups.
Why Arkansas Facilities Choose Seraphim Plastics
- Operational Relief: Clear out valuable floor space and keep aisles safe and compliant.
- Revenue from Waste: Convert scrap streams into a repeatable income line.
- Specification Discipline: Our industrial-only model means stronger pricing for clean, single-resin loads.
- ESG & Reporting Support: Documented weights and materials for sustainability and audit trails.
- Reliable Logistics: On-time trucks, clear communication, and minimal dock disruption.
Typical Minimums & Quality Expectations
To keep pricing and freight efficient, we generally require meaningful volume (e.g., truckload quantities or consistent recurring volumes). Material should be:
- Single resin (no mixing PP with HDPE, etc.)
- Clean & dry (no food, oils, or moisture)
- Properly prepared (baled film, capped buckets without metal, labeled gaylords)
Not sure if you meet volume thresholds? Reach out—we’ll assess whether a recurring schedule or multi-site consolidation can make your Arkansas pickups viable.
Best Practices to Boost Your Scrap Value
- Segregate at the source: Keep resin streams separate on the line.
- Bale film properly: Mill-ready density reduces freight cost and increases price.
- Keep it clean: A little housekeeping (no labels, no liquids, no metal) goes a long way.
- Label containers clearly: “HDPE buckets only,” “PP totes,” “LDPE film—baled.”
- Document volumes: Monthly snapshots help us lock in efficient routes and better pricing.
Compliance & Sustainability
We help Arkansas manufacturers reduce landfill dependence and improve ESG scores by diverting high-value polymers back into domestic re-use. Our process supports ISO/quality teams with the records they need for audits, customer requirements, and sustainability reporting. Ask us about material certificates, weight tickets, and load photos.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you pick up across the whole state?
Yes—we regularly service central Arkansas (Little Rock metro), Northwest Arkansas (Fayetteville–Springdale–Rogers–Bentonville), River Valley (Fort Smith), Northeast (Jonesboro), and beyond. Route timing depends on volume and frequency.
What if my plastic is mixed or slightly contaminated?
We can review and suggest a sorting/prep plan. Mixed or contaminated loads reduce value and sometimes aren’t purchasable. A short call often saves you time and boosts your return.
Can you handle multiple Arkansas sites?
Absolutely. We’ll design a multi-location pickup plan so each plant or DC follows the same specs and paperwork, simplifying finance and ESG tracking.
Do you buy regrind and purge?
Yes—provided they are single resin and clean. We purchase purge, runners/sprues, and regrind across many resins (HDPE, PP, ABS, PC, etc.).
