Equipment

Northstar provides clients with access to a full line of waste and recycling equipment, including all types of balers, compactors, electronic monitors, collection bins, containers, and transportation options. We not only advise clients on the best equipment to use for their programs, but can also provide financing, setup, and training. Additionally, Northstar conducts ongoing research into new tools to help clients increase the efficiency of how their byproducts are collected and transported.

To maximize space and efficiency, Northstar also specializes in spotting combination trailers for mixed recycling. This allows client facilities to collect a variety of grades separately, then load multiple material types onto a single trailer.
