we are now generating with 2-3 people working daily more than 1000 lbs a week. no one willing to take it here in fla. currently we send 6-10 bags with our garbage and two to three truck loads a week to the local dump. now let me explain…. our local dump is also a furnace and recycle. now they love to get in plastics .. as it was explained because its made from petroleum it burns hot so they do not have to use extra fuel to fire the furnace. however they do charge me most of the time. Once we move we will be bailing and granulating.

As to the fellow burning it in the country… please STOP! it is very toxic the smoke given off. At least when gone thru my local incinerator they have scrubbers and ways to clean the stacks.

I think a well worded conversation may get that disposal fee dropped if they do indeed benefit.
