Who We Are
Built for the Beverage Industry.
We started Full Container Recovery because beverage manufacturers and breweries needed a disposal partner who understood their compliance requirements — not just a hauler who'd take the load and move on.
Our Story
A Problem Worth Solving
Beverage producers face a specific challenge: when product can't go to market, it has to go somewhere — and that somewhere has to be documented, compliant, and defensible. For years, the options were limited. Landfill disposal was the default, documentation was inconsistent, and diversion alternatives were hard to access.
Full Container Recovery was built to change that. We operate out of Fife, WA, in the heart of the Pacific Northwest's beverage manufacturing corridor, and we've built our process around the documentation and diversion standards that manufacturers, breweries, and distributors actually need.
Every load we process gets tracked. Every destruction run produces a certificate. Every diversion pathway is documented. That's not extra — it's the baseline.
Compliance First
Documentation isn't an afterthought. Certificates of destruction, diversion reports, and chain-of-custody records are built into every job we do.
Zero Landfill Goal
We route every load to the highest-value recovery pathway available — animal feed, composting, anaerobic digestion, or material recycling — before landfill is ever considered.
Transparent Process
You know what happens to your product. We inventory it, process it, and report back with specifics — not a summary line on an invoice.
Pacific Northwest Focused
We serve WA, OR, and ID. That focus means faster response times, local relationships with diversion partners, and a team that knows the regional regulatory landscape.
Certifications & Compliance
Documentation That Holds Up
Our destruction and diversion processes are designed to meet the documentation requirements of state regulators, TTB compliance, and brand protection standards. We provide certificates of destruction for every run and diversion tonnage reports for sustainability and ESG disclosures.
Sustainability
Diversion Over Disposal
Landfill is the last resort, not the default. We assess every load for the highest-value recovery pathway — and we document the outcome so you can report it. Whether that's aluminum recycling, organic diversion, or anaerobic digestion, we track the tonnage and provide the data your sustainability team needs.
