    There are several options for disposing of plastic.

    #1 I can pay $55.00 per ton and deliver to the trash place.

    #2 I had a dumpster that was for plastic for a local fire compay. I guess it was some kind of fund raiser.

    #3 I can deliver to the recycling place and not get paid but do not have to pay either.



    #4 Contractor bags from Home Depot hold a good bit of stuff and are always an option. I do not like this option because it is opposed to the goal of reduce, reuse, recycle. I would rather give it away and pay for gas and time to do so than put it out for trash. Doing the right thing means more than a little extra profit. I find when I start cutting corners and working in terms of gray areas it compromises my integrity. Some monitors I get go up on freecycle even though I could sell them for a few buck, or crap them. I feel obligated to give back on the site because I take from it.

    Te number one thing you can do int his business is ask for help. Some people just say sorry, but many, many others, are willing to share resources. Google plastic recyclers in your area and see who takes it. Try to find a buyer if you can't then take it to a drop off. The problem I encountered was computer shells and the such are not baleable. Most places wanted baled plastic. The one place I did find to buy wanted to pay like $0.05 per pound. I think it worked out to a couple hundred a tractor trailer load. Which after loading and transporting is a huge loss.
