I have been looking myself. The best offer I have had thus far is 25-28 cents per lb , BUT it must be bailed and fill a 40'Container, dropped at my place by the buyer.
Like most of you,
#1 don't have a baler.
THAT being said, for the long run, a baler might not be that bad of an investment. You can usually get a good used one for around 2K and set it up.
Bale a LOT of different things with it.
Most yards are doing it, so for those of us who get some pretty good size loads, it might be worth it.
HECK, I am not above getting into cardboard for that matter. plenty of it
around for free.
my curbside pickup for recycling takes all that plastic. gave me a free bin and all to put it in. Figured i can throw it in there and be out of my way is more valuable and time saving then tryin to store enuff to take to buyer.
I tested my curbside plastic pickup also this week, i put out 200 pounds of it from 30 crt's i broke down. They took all of it. That tells me they are picking it up off the curb and baling and reselling it From my experience as long as you can get it torn down to clean plastic they will take it for free reguardless of what type of plastic it is. I would save it up if i had a paying buyer near kansas city.
I'm looking for an "ABS" buyer. One of the guys I deal with is looking into a baler and he has the space to store it. I have several people that will give me plastic for free.
a baler is a good investment i have one and it pays for it self
