    Looking for an ABS plastic buyer in TN

    I recently scored a tractor trailer load of industrial, free standing printers, copiers etc. We are still breaking down but the plastic is piling up! the dump in my area wants to charge me. Any Ideas?

    You might check with this company and see if they pick up on larger quantities,, About as close as I could find right offhand.

    there was a place in nashville right off fesslers lane, in that industrial area nearest downtown. I can't recall the name of the road, kind of a Japanese sounding name on that road, if you turned north off fesslers lane (towards the river), and went to the main east/west rd through that area, turned east, crossed the rr tracks, and turned left with the road, just after that turn, on the right(east side the road), was a big recycler. I know for sure they did lots of papers and cardboards, and i'm thinking they may have also did plastic. Might be worth a look if you're in that area, and have a substantial amount


    oops! Substitute 1st (Hermitage) for Fesslers lane! (but it's in the same area where fesslers hits 1st/hermitage) Sorry about that, been awhile
