ICTV
Material Recovery Facilities

A reliable outlet for fiber, plastics, metals, and organics — program or spot.

Spot buyers disappear. Program buyers show up every month — same grades, same terms, same driver. ICTV has been buying from MRFs and recycling facilities nationwide for over a decade.

The Problem

What waste looks like without the right partner.

1

No consistent outlet for your material

Spot buyers cherry-pick grades when the market is up and disappear when it drops. MRFs need consistent program-based buyers who show up every month regardless of short-term market swings.

2

Payment risk and slow settlement

Chasing payment eats operational time and cash flow. ICTV prepays for material to establish new supplier relationships — you know you're getting paid before the truck rolls.

3

Contamination disputes with no resolution

Vague contamination claims that reduce payment without documentation create ongoing disputes. ICTV prices transparently based on material quality — you know what you're getting paid and why.

4

End-market volatility hits your revenue

When a single domestic buyer drops their program, MRFs scramble. ICTV has both domestic and export programs, meaning material moves to the best available outlet regardless of single-market conditions.

Why generic providers fall short

The gap between standard service and what mrfs & recycling facilities operations actually need.

Spot buyers disappear when the market softens.

Commodity traders show up when grades are priced well and vanish when margins compress. MRFs end up scrambling for outlets mid-month while material backs up on the tipping floor.

Contamination disputes reduce payment with no transparency.

Generic buyers issue vague contamination penalties after the fact with no documentation or grading audit. ICTV prices by grade upfront — you know what you're getting paid before the truck rolls.

No prepay means chasing payment every month.

Most spot buyers pay net-30 to net-60 with no guarantee. ICTV prepays for material to start new relationships, removing payment risk from the equation.

Regulatory Context

The compliance picture.

What these laws mean for mrfs & recycling facilities — in plain English.

AB 341

Requires recycling programs for businesses generating 4+ cubic yards of solid waste per week. Drives commercial and industrial material to MRFs.

Non-compliance risk

Non-compliant generators face fines. Compliance increases regional volume flowing to MRFs.

SB 54

California's plastics law mandates diversion of plastic packaging from landfill. Increases plastic volumes MRFs must move to compliant end markets.

Non-compliance risk

MRFs without compliant plastic outlets face growing backlogs as generator volume increases post-2027.

CalRecycle Reporting

MRFs are required to submit annual reporting to CalRecycle on material processed and diverted. End-market documentation must be audit-ready.

Non-compliance risk

Insufficient documentation can trigger audits and compliance reviews. ICTV provides material purchase records and weight tickets.
