We Buy Plastic Scrap
If your plant throws away plastic, there’s a good chance it’s worth something. AP&J is a family-owned recycler on Haltom Road in Fort Worth, and we buy post-industrial plastic, grind it into regrind and sell it back to molders and compounders.
What a load is worth depends on five things: the grade, how clean it is, the volume, the form it’s in and how it’s packed. Clean, single-resin scrap in gaylords or bales is worth the most. Mixed or dirty material may still be recyclable, but it’s worth less, and we’ll tell you plainly where yours falls.
The quickest way to a price is to email a description and a few photos to jeanette@apjrecycling.com.
