Managed waste services for logistics and distribution networks
WHK manages waste and recycling across terminals, warehouses, and distribution centers. We right-size pickups, improve compactor and baler uptime, recover cardboard, film, and pallets, and give operations teams one accountable partner across every location. One point of contact, one invoice, and dock lanes that stay clear through peak season.
In a DC, recyclables aren't waste. They're volume you can recover
Cardboard, stretch film, and pallets dominate the waste profile, take up valuable dock space, and, managed poorly, get hauled away at a cost when much of it has recovery value. Across many facilities, inconsistent programs compound the leakage.
We right-size service and equipment, capture value where markets exist, and keep every dock moving.
The waste your facilities generate
High-volume corrugated cardboard, stretch and shrink film, wood pallets and crates, mixed recyclables, and scrap metal, we manage the full recyclable stream across every DC and warehouse.
Corrugated cardboard (OCC), high volume
Stretch & shrink film (LDPE)
Wood pallets & crates
Mixed recyclables
Scrap metal. Banding, racking, equipment
How WHK manages your facility waste program
We start by mapping what you generate across every location, then standardize your program with one cadence and vetted recyclers everywhere. Scheduled pickups come with chain-of-custody records, and your materials are processed responsibly with diversion and activity rolled into one report.
Assess
Assess. We map volume by material and site, current containers/balers, haulers, and what value you're capturing.
Standardize
Standardize. One program: right-sized service, balers/compactors and densifiers where volume warrants, vetted recyclers across every DC.
Collect & document
Collect & document. Scheduled pickups with weight and chain-of-custody records.
Recycle & report
Recover & report. Recyclables routed to market; diversion, activity, and any recovered value in one report.
Simplify, save, and optimize
Simplify
One managed partner across every DC; we wrangle the haulers, balers, recyclers, and paperwork.
Save
Right-sizing, densification, and consolidated billing cut haul frequency and cost, and high-volume cardboard, film, and pallets may recover value.
Optimize
Weight, diversion data, and reporting that stand up to audit and feed ESG goals.
A broker hands your assets to whoever's cheapest and disappears. We own
the outcome. Vetted recyclers, real people, full accountability
Turn dock clutter into recovered value
High-volume OCC, baled film, and pallets have real recovery pathways, at DC scale, that can offset disposal cost instead of adding to it. We capture it transparently and document the diversion.
Responsible routing
High-volume OCC and baled film are routed to commodity recyclers, at DC scale, that recovery can offset haul cost and feed your diversion numbers.
Auditable recovery
Wood pallets are sorted for repair-and-reuse or routed to wood recyclers, keeping them off the landfill and out of your diversion gap.
Nationwide coverage,
local presence

Built for every node in the network
Distribution centers, warehouses, third-party logistics (3PL), fulfillment & e-commerce operations, cross-docks, and cold storage, anywhere recyclables move at volume across many facilities.
Why logistics operators trust WHK
We don't broker your program. We own the relationship at every location you operate, which means we're answerable for what happens from pickup to final processing.
Every facility in our network is vetted and documented. Chain of custody records follow your materials through every step, giving you the evidence you need for compliance and ESG reporting.
Consolidated data across all locations rolls into one report. No piecing together invoices from five different vendors or explaining gaps in your diversion numbers to auditors.
We own your program end to end, not as a broker passing you between vendors.
