Disposal
Disposal Services – We Dispose of Rejected or Unusable Freight Properly
The Problem
Not every load can be saved. Sometimes product gets rejected and cannot be redelivered – for example, a temp-controlled load that exceeded the limit, damaged goods that the receiver won’t accept, or items that are simply unsellable due to an accident. You’re left with freight on your trailer with no destination. Disposing of freight isn’t as simple as tossing it in a dumpster – there are regulations (especially for food, beverages, or hazardous materials) and costs associated with proper disposal. Illegal dumping or mishandling can lead to fines or legal trouble. Carriers, brokers, and shippers need proof that the goods were destroyed in many cases. So there you are with a load of product that needs to go away, and fast – every hour it sits is wasted time and a trailer out of operation. How do you responsibly get rid of a large volume of goods on short notice? Most public dumps won’t accept a full trailer of commercial product without notice, and doing it yourself means finding labor to offload and transport the trash. It’s a messy, unpleasant task that most logistics providers aren’t equipped for.
Our Solution
Cross Dock Fix provides turn-key disposal services for rejected or unusable freight. We take the burden off your hands. Once you contact us and authorize disposal, we arrange for our best facility to accept and destroy the goods. Our team will unload and dispose or destroy the rejected goods from your trailer at our site. If the product is food-grade or suitable for donation and you prefer that route, we can coordinate donation to local charities or food banks when feasible (some rejected loads that are safe to consume can help others in need). Otherwise, we ensure everything is destroyed or discarded in compliance with local laws and environmental regulations. We handle all the heavy lifting and logistics of disposal: sorting if necessary, pallet removal, packaging cleanup, etc. You’ll quickly have an empty, clean trailer ready for your next load. We provide documentation – if you need a Certificate of Disposal or destruction records for insurance or accounting, we will supply that, detailing the pallets of product were disposed of on this date, in the manner required. This gives brokers and shippers peace of mind and proof that the goods won’t resurface improperly.

Disposal is a task that demands responsibility and
discretion. Cross Dock Fix approaches it professionally: we respect any instructions about proprietary or branded goods.
