Wood Chipper to Plastic Chipper...Anyone?

I just throw every thing in a gaylord un ground. Although, the plastic people I deal with don't want it ground, so if you are trying to get $$ for it, you should check with your buyer first.

Anyone have a picture of this set up? I need to make some room, I have a Craftsman Wood Chipper, I just need to put it to work. I just want to see how you have it set up to get the plastic into a Triwall box.

The guy I'm dealing with is here in Ohio. He said that unchipped he'd have to see about 20-30 boxes (Gaylords) before he could offer to pay for it. If I want to get rid of what I have now I have to bring it to him.

My plan is to chip it and fill a box that way, and save myself a couple of trips. I think I can fit 4 or 5 gaylords full of material into a single gaylord chipped.

Guys keep in mind on average a plastic grinder is only about $500 on ebay, if you have the space for it. And I wouldn't bother separating plastics. Like someone else said they'll just mix it with dark, or another color.

I DO have aguy paying a premium for end rolls of diaper plastic, or pop bottle labels etc. If you come across anything like that let me know and I'm pretty sure hell come get it!
