    abs plastic

    I have found a buyer now I need to compact the plastic to transport more at once. I thought about putting it in a 55 gallon drum and hitting it with a sledgehammer but does anyone have any ideas?

    Ask if they take it shredded and if so, get a wood chipper.

    Find a place that has a baler that you can use.

    If you do a lot of large CRT's (Trinitron's, etc.) Use the back panel and fill it with plastic. That's what I do.
