What do you guys do with your plastics?

We bought a small plastic baler. We use the boxes that people give us waste in, as caps, and make bales of plastic a little bigger than 2x the size of a hay bale.

We have a buyer, he offered us a price a little better than most of the ewaste buyers in Ohio, and it's only about 45 minutes down the road. He doesn't buy from the general public, I just happen to have been introduced to him by a former client. The old man plans to load the big flatbed up with pallets of plastic and go collect his $300-500 in the spring. The nice part is that plastic was the only thing we were tossing. I think we'll soon be able to cancel our dumpster!



The baler we bought runs on 3phase. Picked up a phase convertor on ebay cheap.

We also bought a plastic granulator. This will turn plastic pieces into plastic bb's, I have a retail end in mind for the regrind...fingers crossed!

Remember not all industrial equipment is expensive. We bought the baler on ebay and drove 10 hours to get it....for $7 or 800...the granulator went for $700 and was just up the road.
