JBII -- FREE PLASTIC FEEDSTOCK = EASY. EXAMPLES BELOW:

(1) $10 to $100 per ton to dump waste plastic. Cities could save as much as $200 per ton giving it for free to JBII:

(2) "steady stream" from construction sites by the ton giving away free waste plastic:

(3) Here's an article, with references, whining that companies who burn plastic get PAID to do it:

"They receive a tip fee for disposing of the waste."

(4) $50 a ton example cost to dump plastic by a recycler who 40,000 to 80,000 lbs per month to the landfill. (JBII will take it off their hands for free). This is a single location:

(5) "non-HDPE and non-PET resins are usually sorted out and discarded at the recycling plant."

http://www.inhabitat.com/2009/03/19/green-rant-why-wont-nyc-recycle-plastic/

Discarded? How much do they PAY to discard? $25, $50, $100 a ton tip fee?

(6) From a New York City website...

These move past a series of laser beams that identify any item made of #1 PET or #2 HDPE and blow it off the main conveyor onto a second conveyor. At this stage, workers manually pull out #1 and #2 bottles and jugs.
What is left over at the end of the conveyor belt journey (#3-7 bottles, #1-7 tubs and trays, as well as non-numbered plastic containers) is disposed of as residue.

Disposed of = paid to get rid of = avaiable for free to anybody who wants it.

Listen guys,
Get off the subject of feed stock for once and for all!

I have contracts for waste plastic,from hard plastic to dirty film, to be deliverd to my yard, I GET PAID between $80 and delivered free. The better the plastic the worse the price I get paid, if I agree to take the better material for free I can call the period of the contract which is between 3 to 5 years.
I would be more concerened with JBI's roll out timescale.
