    ask the companies that want 10 bales at a time if they have anyone in you area that they pick up from, maybe you could give/sell it to them

    I give mine to our county recycling center. At least it's not in my way.

    Well last year it wasn't hard getting rid of my plastic but it is impossible now to find someone who will take the amount I have. The recycling centers around Nashville won't even take it. They will take #1 and #2 plastic but mixed computer and telecom or anything that's #6 or #7 is a no no.

    I had the same problem when I lived in Nashville.........Around here dumps and recycling centers are Free (Knoxville)......In Nashville all the dumps charge.......Ride around back alleys of Nashville and tons of mattresses and trash are dumped everywhere
