    Red face Ive got the metal sorted, but now what to do with the plastics!?!

    Anybody ever had this dilemma? I'm Jogden and i'm from BC, where we have plastics recycling plants and yet there is still a huge fee to take it in to the dump(or waste transfer station).

    I have so much to learn about this trade, i wish to expertise in something to do witht the precious metals extraction.
    Talk soon!

    Welcome to the forum. Plastic has always been a problem for me.
    Copper, brass, and Leather. 3 of my favorite things.

    Welcome to the forum. I don't worry about plastics, either they go with the steel shred as fluff or they get put in with my curbside recycling. I took plastics in to a buyer about 6 years ago and I took in about 1500 lbs and had to truck it about 50 miles through city, stop and go driving, and got a whole hundred bucks for my hassles. now they go as fluff or curbside.
