Product Disposal
When your shipment becomes damaged, contaminated, or just plain unfit for its intended destination, you need to cut the dead weight as quickly as possible in order to stay profitable.
At WeFixFreight, we’ll quickly take the unwanted goods off your hands, and ensure they’re disposed of responsibly. Our product disposal services include recycling, incineration, and professional waste disposal for any of your damaged cargo loads.
What Types of Freight We Dispose Of
WeFixFreight handles product disposal for a wide range of freight categories. Whether the goods are physically damaged, contaminated, recalled, or simply unable to be re-routed to their destination, our agents can respond quickly and manage the process from start to finish:
- Damaged and crushed goods — Pallets that have been compromised during transit, dropped, or crushed under other freight during loading accidents
- Water and moisture-damaged goods — Freight exposed to rain, flooding, or leaking containers that renders it unsalvageable
- Contaminated freight — Products exposed to chemical spills, pest contamination, or cross-contamination with non-compliant cargo
- Recalled or expired products — Time-sensitive goods that have passed their use-by date during delays or that have been subject to manufacturer recall
- Oversize or difficult-to-return loads — Freight that is more cost-effective to dispose of at the current location than to reroute back to origin
How the Product Disposal Process Works
We keep the process fast and transparent. Here’s what to expect when you contact WeFixFreight for product disposal:
- Step 1 — Emergency dispatch: Call or submit a request through our contact form. We’ll match you with the nearest available agent within your freight’s current location.
- Step 2 — On-site assessment: Our agent inspects the freight, confirms disposal eligibility, and determines the appropriate method (recycling, certified destruction, donation, or landfill).
- Step 3 — Responsible disposal: We execute the disposal in compliance with local environmental regulations and any applicable industry standards. No shortcuts.
- Step 4 — Documentation provided: We issue a certificate of disposal or destruction, which you can use for insurance claims, carrier liability documentation, or internal records.
The entire process can typically be completed within 24–48 hours of initial contact, depending on freight volume and location.
Why Proper Disposal Documentation Matters
For freight brokers and shippers filing insurance claims on damaged cargo, a certificate of destruction from a professional disposal provider is often a required document.
Attempting to self-dispose or abandon freight can void claims and create liability exposure. WeFixFreight’s disposal documentation is designed to meet standard carrier and cargo insurance requirements.
