AZ is not a deposit state. I found a place that pays .30 a pound for #1 plastic bottles. Not bad.
Some guys here in florida only paid 60 dollars a ton. Middlemen of course.
Hasn't happened here yet, but it looks like glass and plastic recycling may be on an upswing. Guess I might start holding on to some of the stuff and just keep my eyes open.
Actually good amount as my friend got 25 a pound only for the same!!
Seems she doesn't bargain better way!
Nice! NH isn't a deposit state either. What kind of an outfit is it, and do they have a minimum? I'd like to find something like that here in NH.Quote:

Wish had someone around my area that would buy plastic, glass, books, etc. All the places here will take most of the stuff but only for free. I remember taking in coke bottles for spending money as a kid in GA. No such thing now.
A start up scrap yard... They buy glass, #1 plastic, Tin cans, auto batteries and alum cans. They offer the best price in town for alum cans .74 lb. They are in the process of moving, when they do it will be a bigger place and I think they are going to start buying other metal. I will see how there prices are when they re open! And no minimum so far...Quote:

yes that is the way I understand the law. these govt. people never understand business. We spend millions from taxpayers on hiring out of state construction companies to bid on govt jobs who work and live out of state, but then someone wants to bring some bottles and cans from NH and we all go nuts shutting them down. Way to go maine...:(
i want to scrap plastic bottles for cash
im in perry ohio by cleveland and want to find a place close to me

I figured they were cashing in the cans for deposit out of state, but the PETEs I can't see how they could be cheating since I give them more than bottles ie containers that cherry tomatoes are sold in and other packaging. This also fills up large buckets quickly so I always cut my plastic up before putting into the bucket.
Only one place buys the other #1 plastic for $.25 and no produce / fruit containers. Prices are weird at each place.Quote:

Alum Cans $.98 need 100 lbs and smashed flat from the top down
If Arizona is not a CRV state, (Here CRV means California Redemption Value), why are they paying more for it? I get $1.12 for #1 CRV and is $30 to $50 a week, easy money! Something just don't seem right there Hobo, but get it if they are paying more for it!
Since scrap metal prices are so low - are plastic and glass a viable thing to seek out? I'm in NC & haven't found buyers but that doesn't mean they aren't there.
