    Plastic

    I found a place in metro ATL that will pay 18-22 cents / lb for ABS in any quantity if you drop off and will pick up lg amounts for free. HIPS was .10/lb

    That's pretty good right?

    Thing with plastic is this....it takes up a ton of space whole. As them if they will pay more for "chipped plastic" an they may say yes or no or the same price who knows. But then make sure mixed color or do they want white with white blue with blue an ect.

    if they will buy it chipped just get a cheap wood chipper an chip the plastic an put it in 55 drums when you chip it...it takes MUCH less space. MOST places will pay more if its chipped/bailed up before hand.
