is there an exact address where I can bring #6 plastics for recycling?
The above answer is very detailed and good. However, here's a simple idea. Make winter shelters for the homeless. OR Contact the Mayor Mike's office (dial 311) and ask if they know of a private recycler for #6 plastic.
very confusing task. seek on the search engines. this may help!
According to NYCWasteLe$$, you cannot recycle #6 plastics in NYC: CAN I RECYCLE ANY OTHER PLASTICS BESIDES #1 #2 BOTTLES JUGS? At present, the NYC's recycling program accepts ONLY plastic bottles and jugs. CHECK THE NECK: if it's smaller than the body, put it in the recycling bin. If it is NOT a bottle or jug, put it in the regular garbage.
Plastic #6 (polystyrene) is not often recycled due to it's low value. Do you have a baler on premises that could bale the reels? I don't know how big these reels are, but unless you have 1/2 ton or more, it probably won't be possible to recycle them in the traditional sense. Will the wire manufacturer take them back for re-use?
