Why take up excessive warehouse space?

Harry Solow Plastic Co. was established in 1949 and has been in the plastic recycling business ever since. Plastic scrap, purchased locally in the New York Metropolitan area, can be picked up with our trucks in lots of 7000 pounds or greater. We also buy and recycle plastic drools.

Why recycle plastic?

Besides being profitable to sellers of plastic scrap due to payments made for the scrap and by reducing the dumping (trash ) costs of the product, plastic recycling is environmentally friendly. By recycling you are not only reducing land fill space, but saving energy needed to produce virgin plastic as opposed to recycled plastic. Valuable petrochemical resources are also greatly reduced leading to more energy independence.

Recycling Plastic Scrap | The Better Alternative

Plastic scrap is valuable and it pays to recycle both financially and environmentally. It is environmentally unsound and financially shortsighted to discard plastic scrap without seeking an alternative. Harry Solow Plastic Co. will be your gateway to a plastic scrap solution. We are the better alternative.

Our bedrock philosophy is to serve our customers honestly, dependably and responsibly.
