    PVC Insulation?

    Is anybody selling the PVC insulation that they strip off copper wire? I know that the people who sell granulators advertize that the machine separates it for sale so I assume that there's a market for it and commercial yards save it.

    Anybody know what it's worth and where to sell it? I'm guessing if you can get a gaylord together someone would buy it.

    If you do find somebody, let me know. I bag it and take it to the landfill.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    I can't quite get a visual on what 22400 lbs of pvc looks like or how many E150 van loads that might be.

    I think a gross ton is the same as a long ton or 2240 pounds.
