Keeping your workforce safe starts with keeping their protective gear in peak condition. Bates Enterprises offers personal protective equipment (PPE) laundering services in Sandy Springs that help you maintain a cleaner, safer working environment.. Our process restores, recycles, and extends the life of gloves, jackets, chemical-resistant suits, masks, and other critical safety equipment so it’s always ready when your team needs it.

By combining advanced cleaning methods with ISO 14001-certified practices, we remove oils, greases, and chemicals without damaging coatings or compromising material strength. This means your team stays protected, your business stays compliant, and you save money by reducing unnecessary gear replacements.

Bates Enterprises partners with businesses across Sandy Springs and throughout the southern U.S. to keep protective gear clean, safe, and in circulation. Our services are built to support industries like manufacturing, biotech, oil and gas, utilities, and other high-demand sectors.

Each program is customized to meet the specific needs of your operation, helping you control PPE costs while keeping every piece of equipment ready for use. From regular pickups to careful inspection and fast delivery, we make sure every piece of equipment is ready for use so your team never faces a PPE shortage.

Box Program

Managing used protective gear doesn’t need to be complicated. Our Box Program simplifies collection with easy steps—your facility gets labeled containers for gloves, jackets, masks, and other equipment. These secure boxes keep everything organized until scheduled pickup and delivery, helping you prevent misplaced or mishandled items. Once full, we collect the containers and sort every item for laundering, repair, or certified recycling. This seamless system keeps your gear moving quickly back into service, ensuring your team always has the PPE they need without adding to your workload.

Industrial Laundering

Industrial work demands PPE that performs, and our specialized laundry facilities and industrial dry cleaning services keep it that way. Using industry-approved cleaning agents and controlled wash cycles, we strip away oils, chemicals, and grime while protecting coatings, stitching, and material integrity. Every load is processed to ISO 14001 standards, so your business meets strict compliance rules while reducing its environmental footprint. By extending the lifespan of your PPE, you spend less on replacements and send fewer materials to landfills.

Gear Reuse & Recycling

Replacing PPE too often drains budgets and fills landfills. Bates Enterprises offers reuse-first cleaning services, laundering and repairing gear that still meets safety and industry standards so it can go back into circulation. When gear has reached the end of its usable life, we divert it into certified recycling streams instead of the trash. This dual approach helps you cut disposal costs, ensure worker safety, and hit your sustainability targets without extra effort.

Glove Recycling & Laundering Services

Gloves are some of the most-used items in any industrial setting, which is why we offer specialized laundering and recycling to keep them in rotation for the long term. Our laundry process removes contaminants, dries gloves carefully to preserve integrity, and inspects each pair for wear. Gloves that pass inspection are quickly returned to your team, while those at the end of their cycle are sent through certified recycling programs. This keeps your supply steady, your costs down, and your environmental impact lower.

With Bates Enterprises, you get complete PPE management. We handle pickup, inspection, cleaning, repairs, and delivery in-house, cutting out delays from third parties and keeping turnaround times short. Our all-in-one system ensures your employees always have clean, compliant, and ready-to-use gear. By taking care of the entire process, we help your business maintain productivity, stay compliant, and avoid costly downtime.
