    I contacted them and got a very quick response from a guy named David. FWIW, here's a quote from him:



    It is going to be challenging to find anyone willing to pickup your material unless you have at least 5,000 pounds, probably more. The plastic value is not that great especially in an unbaled form.

    I assume you are going to generate metal as well. I would press the local metal yard to take your plastic when you drop off the metal
    This was good info for me since I realized that I would not be able to generate anything close to that weight in my "basement operation". So hopefully this will be helpful info for others.
