    Most recycling firms around Las Vegas also stopped taking plastic after the new National Sword policies went into effect, even if totally clean.

    If the plastic is clean, you could buy a granulator and pelletizer ... on Ebay, pellets go for $0.60 to $5.00 /lb

    According to Google, the setup would cost about $160,000 to $250,000 for a small operation. Used, the equipment would run around $90,000 - $120,000 or so.
