thats the same price as shred and people are gonna drop it off at your place for free, that sounds like a win-win-win situation for all parties involved

Depends how you look at it. If ResourcefulRecycling processes plastic (Pelletizes it, I think that's a word) then it would be. If he ships it somewhere, I don't see how it would be. I don't see how because he still has to pay for employees, trucks, and shipping and you can't do that on ten cents a pound. Please elaborate on this jghilino.Originally Posted by jghilino

Even at .10 to .15 cents per pound, it would certainly add to income. If a person has the storage, wouldn't it be worth the time to accumulate and possibly sell plastic once per year. At the rate I have been accumulating plastic, I feel that I will have 3-6 tons by the end of March.
We actually bail it and sell to a company that pelletizes it. All plastic must be clean, ( no rubber, steel, other different kinds of plastic). It takes a lot of time to clean, sort and bail all plastics. Computer plastics are not very profitable, but it sells quick and easy so we deal in it often. You will not be able to profit off it if you have to store it over 6 months and sell it loose.

Because i can go anywhere and get plastic for free, i cant go anywhere and get metal for free its called stealing. If plastic is the same price as shred and you get it for free your gonna make money. Thats assuming you can compact it enough to make it worth it. Id say just bale it and wait till you have a semi load to sell it. How is this not the same than mixed steel if you exclude the density issue? it all has to be sorted and processed and resold reguardless
