Sad to report that all this recyclable material is headed for the landfill. Apparently it is cheaper to make new than recycle. County Recycling center won't even take it. Oh well I tried !

Sadly, this looks to be the norm for the future. With the glut of fuel and oil entering the world market, most plastics and rubber will be worthless in the recycling world. I'm sad to see this happen.

At that weight these will need re-baled.
Unfortunately these would probably need to be landfilled.

I will NOT hoard it. NOT my material, NOT my building, NOT my disposal expense. Building owner is paying for disposal so he can rent out the warehouse.

sigh, plastic's in the whole as much as steel. Pity it's not thin gauge or I woulda taken it - anything thicker then 0.8mm and I can't punch it.

You didn’t look hard enough. Ewasted was buying plastic.....so even after shipping cost and you make nothing shipping to him, you can always throw the "disposal" fee in your pocket and the plastic will be going to a good home. Ask gorven, he can set it up

I believe he no longer pays for it, but accepts it at no charge.

Even if that is the case, can still charge a "disp[osal" fee which will cover shipping and pocket the rest. Then it saves it from landfill. Which is what truely scrap is. Not making money, but recyclign so usa doesnt end up like china with air you cant breathe and water you canty drink
