All of our plastic goes into our 93 gallon curbside recycling can at the house or a "white" four yard recycling dumpster at work. I'm not sure what "Louisville" in the USA you are located in. Like "Hobo" Who provided you with a excellent reference for plastics guidelines for the city of Louisville, Kentucky. That city has a good curbside recycling program, they do have a recycling program for your plastics and other recyclables (that you don't sell). Have you called your trash service? Even if the curbside recycling is not a option for you, you still have options. That city has 18 free drop-off recycling centers. Four staffed drop-off centers opened 10 AM to 5 PM Tuesdays through Saturdays. The unstaffed drop-off centers are opened 24 hours a day, you just put it in the dumpster. Pretty simple, reasonable, easy to dispose of a scrappers "By-Products", if you live in the city of Louisville, Kentucky.
Keep us posted to your findings and good scrapping to you.
I respect you 100% Burt but here is the way it is for me........I will not pay to have plastics recycled when I can dump for free (I know its rolled into my taxes)......Look at it this way.......Do I get my kids what they need (shoes, clothes, food, etc.) or do I take the small amount of profit I make each month and try to save the world...........For me it's a no-brainer......Recycle everything possible then move on to the next load
