Plastic prices

The problem with plastic is that it is light. When I take shred, I usually have a little less than 1000 pounds. I found a plastic buyer, about 40 minutes away, I tipped the scales at 300 pounds. At $0.10, not much profit. I am thinking of ways to make my load bigger though. Higher sides or stack boxes on top and strap it down.

I was going to use a leaf/limb shredder and shred it and throw it into a gaylord. I'll bet you could get 500+ lbs to a box.
