Transloading Services in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba & Ontario: Efficient Recycling with Recycle West

At Recycle West, we know that efficient and sustainable recycling starts with smart logistics. One of the best ways to move large volumes of recyclable materials is through transloading — transferring materials from one mode of transportation to another, such as from trucks to rail. For businesses and municipalities in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario, transloading helps streamline recycling operations while reducing costs and environmental impact.

What is Transloading?

Transloading is the process of transferring materials between different transportation methods during their journey from collection to processing. In the recycling industry, this often means collecting materials locally via truck and moving them to a central facility using rail. This approach is especially effective for handling large volumes over long distances.
