Question by jennifer p: Who could we find to take free bales of mixed plastic to recycle?
We are a reclamation center for a toy store. We have a few truck loads of baled, mixed plastic and can’t find anyone to take it for free? I have been on several websites and can’t find anyone to take it. We usually recycle this through a company but they aren’t interested anymore. We don’t want to throw it away, we want it to be recycled.

What do you think? Answer below!
The price for recyclable materials has tanked. Things that were worth $200 a ton are now worth less than $20. Recyclers around the nation are having to stock pile items so they aren’t willing to take anything right now. Who knows how long this will last, as long as consumers aren’t buying, then no one is making things so there is no value to the materials needed to make them. I hate to say it, but you will likely have to store it for a year or longer or bring it to a landfill.
