Has anyone in Michigan dealt with a company called Padnos?

I'm looking for a list of all of the items they accept. I tried to get a list, but was blocked by one of their employees of there E-waste division.

I would like to start recycling more than E-waste and metals. I would like to get into recycling and making money off of card board, plastics, glass, paper, and any other materials I can find.

Does anyone here deal with them?

I've tried a couple times, but as you found out, they are a pain to deal with. I'm not sure what their deal is, but in my experience, they don't want to deal with the little guys at all.

I take my scrap iron and nonferrous there. I just call in advance for pricing. I haven't attempted recycling plastic or glass with them.

Thanks Racer!! They seem a bit ignorant, all I want to do is recycle more and know any and all items I can recycle through them.

Skittles, can you covertly give me there pricing for there materials, I will gladly thank you as well as my family for providing such information?

On a side note does anybody know how many gaylords of plastic and other materials pertaining to E-waste make up a "bail" (using a bailer to compress materials) which is what they except for material.

I visit Padnos in Traverse City pretty much once a week. Not very competitive on Ewaste yet but best prices around here on Steel, copper, alum etc. What location are you looking at?

I guess Alma is the closest to me, I have never been there, maybe I should stop by and check out their prices

Unlikely, lol. I will wait til someone on here can give me a detailed list of what they accept before I go any further.

Once I get the list I can start to accumulate what they take.

Oh and I live about 60miles away from Alma a bit of a stretch for me.
