Thank you!!! I appreciate the effort here and have followed Dave on Youtube for long time.... but have spent very little time on the precious plastics webpage. So if my questions are better answered there, please feel free to point me in the right direction.
I am super interested in starting a small space... as in my garage. I have a place on the side of my yard where I could store close to 10 pallet sized "containers" where I could store various plastics.
Admittedly, I have been hesitant to purchase the required machinery to process the plastic for selfish reasons. However, my wife and I have discussed the need to do something completely altruistic to show our children and I think this would satisfy more than a few "conditions" that would enable an investment in said machinery.
That all said, how would you go about collecting plastic? I live in a suburban city that has a recycling program. Should I ask businesses? Do I need to cold call to get steady supplies? Picking stuff off the side of roads and whatnot seems good for a while, but how would I make dent if I cannot secure a reliable source?
