I am talking to a few plastic buyers in the Denver area and one in WY about computer plastics. I have asked a few questions anything else I should ask??

Questions so far......
1) Minumum quantity
2) Colors sorted or mixed
3) bailed or in gaylord? = (1 so far has said gaylords are fine)
4) Pick up or drop off service or both

Thanks
Tom

Sorry they were slow to reply... I and the I forgot to update here..
2 would only accept full trailer loads bailed. They other will take it but they don't pay unless it is bailed and he did not say how much per load..... Does not really matter I don't have a bailer in the back yard..

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.
