    We want to help you be green too!

    We want to help you be green too! As a major producer of recyclables, TR Trades has partnered with multiple recycling depots in order to minimize potential waste contribution. We extend our recycling services to our loyal clients who may not have enough waste to justify recycling services of their own.

    We will pick up and recycle a variety of our clients’ printing waste, such as:
  • Soft plastics, including plastic bags from your paper plotters
  • Hard plastics, such as the circular ends of your plotter cores
  • Cardboard tubes and cores
  • Old drawings
  • Give your recycled waste to our drivers and they will bring it to our recycling facilities!
