Once we move we will be bailing and granulating.



    As to the fellow burning it in the country… please STOP! it is very toxic the smoke given off. At least when gone thru my local incinerator they have scrubbers and ways to clean the stacks.
    Urban recycling may have some contacts in Florida that deal with plastic
    Currently looking for a job in or related to scrap/recycling. Relocation is possible for the right offer.
