Why Contractors Partner with TiEnergy
Contractors trust TiEnergy to remove and recycle old railroad ties, cut CO₂ emissions, and strengthen their relationships with Class I, II, and short line railroads.
You’re hired to solve problems, not create new ones.
When it comes to old railroad ties, you need a partner who can:
- Handle large volumes safely and reliably
- Deliver clear environmental benefits your clients can share
- Help you stand out in bids with proven sustainability results
TiEnergy does all three.
Our Class I railroad clients are saving approximately 3.06 lbs. of CO₂ per retired tie, improving:
- Environmental impact – less carbon, less waste
- Brand image – stronger ESG and sustainability stories
- Bottom line – efficient, compliant disposal with documented results
When you bring TiEnergy to the table, you help your clients hit their goals—and you become the contractor who made it possible.
How Our Rail Tie Recycling Program Works
1. Plan the project
Share upcoming work—mileage, tie counts, locations, and timing. We’ll help you design a removal and recycling plan that fits your schedule and your client’s requirements.
2. Remove and transport ties
We coordinate container placement, loading logistics, and transport from the job site to our facility, helping you keep crews moving and projects on schedule.
3. Recycle and report
We process ties responsibly and provide documentation your clients care about:
- Volumes handled
- CO₂ savings (per tie and total)
- Environmental and compliance details
You get a simple, repeatable process. Your clients get measurable sustainability wins.
