Recycling Centers?

Plastic and glass are not high-value materials. You would need to recycle a LOT of each of them to make much cash.

Recycled glass (or rather pieces of glass containers) are known as cullet. The only pricing data I could find for glass cullet is rather old, but it was in the range of $25 to $50 per ton for clear glass. Amber glass was somewhat less, and green glass was half or less than half the price of clear.

The apparent pricing of recycled pastics actually surprised me. It is measured in cents per pound for clean, sorted, flaked (shredded) plastics and ranges from up to $1 per pound for some types of plastic, down to 25 cents a pound for other types. I'm doubtful, however, that you would be willing to wash, separate and shred the plastics before selling them.

If, armed with this knowledge, you are still excited about trying to sell your bottles, then I would look in the yellow pages for metal recyclers and give them a call. They deal in the commodities market, and probably know who in the area handles plastics and glass.

Good luck.

We recycle almost each and every little thing. it works because of the fact the community kommune (Svelvik, Vestfold, Norway) aspects a gadget that works and does not require lots of utilising. in certainty maximum of it quite is achieved walking via maximum folk in the section. in case you could want topersistent for an hour (is that each and each way or finished?) you have probable used 4 or 5 litres of petrol while you're utilising an SUV. The ability fee,placed on and tear and pollutants probable outweighs a minimum of the flexibility fee of the recycled cloth. of course you could properly be reducing the quantity of junk that finally leads to landfill so it would nonetheless have a favorable area. so you might respond to the question as though i did no longer recycle: definite i'd if it have been nearer and definite the area does matter the two in terms of convenience and of ecological and ability fee.

Stick to Aluminium cans for ease and good returns. Might be a bit of a wild idea, but I work in construction and most sites I have been on end up leaving between hundreds and thousands of pounds (sterling) worth of materials, such as man-hole materials (rings, biscuits, covers etc), pipe lengths and fittings, cement, bricks and blocks, slates, timber etc. If you did your research, got a yard sorted out, you could fill it with such like, and sell it pretty much back to the same companies when they need it on the next job they do.

It takes the money they make from them to recycle them.
