    Hi and welcome to the forum from Las Vegas! The old threads here have just oodles of information to help you be more efficient and have more fun with your scrap. You're lucky to be in CA where a substantial amount of commonly found plastics have CVR value. Fwiw in my experience the only kinds of plastics you can get paid for (ABS, PET1/2, etc) need to be in the thousands of lbs before you can get buyers. Your mileage may vary.
