Sadly plastic is one of those lower end recyclables. It is almost imposable for a small or medium plastic recycling co. to stay in business with out millions for equipment or a fairly large subsidy.
It's hard to ship plastic to a buyer at .03,.05 or .08 a lb when shipping is .18 to .27 a lb.
It is really funny ,I was just thinking yesterday about that shredder some one posted the other day, and why more building material is not made of indestructible , pest proof plastic .

Because wood is cheaper. And it will be, until someone can successfully mass produce good quality plastic products for a cheaper than wood price. There could be some money to be made, if someone came up with a good business plan.Originally Posted by olddude
Just like with old tires, People are getting creative and coming up with unconventional uses for them. A company close to home makes a good living encasing old tires into concrete retaining wall bricks.
