    Interesting that you say that. I have thought about that before. Everything that goes through that shredder gets separated and of course sold. I would assume that the plastic gets separated and sold off as well and I am assuming that it fetches 10 to 15 cents a pound for them. maybe even more.

    Anyone have a good description of what happens when a load goes through the shredder and how it gets separated. I am assuming that they have a market for 98% of whatever is in there.
