    the mix

    I have noticed in the mix load some plastic is over looked , But the yard seems to hate wood . like a speaker with wood case compared to a same size speaker with plastic case . I bet the yards that use a Schedar can sell off the plastic left overs. Wood has weight
    but what do they do with all the woody cardboard left overs ? FUEL to burn?

    Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.

    Plastic has value, and always will.

    Wood has no value. Especially when it's full of oil, metal shards ect.

    Plastic pricing is based on oil prices. The higher oil goes the more valuable plastic is.

    Wood...ha! We can always cut down more trees...until we realize there are no more and we have to import trees from brazil! LOL!

    Wood weighs more than plastic.
