Recycling plastics can be very expensive. The market for used plastic is such that if the user is more that couple of hundred miles from the source, shipping costs become prohibited.

An electronic recycler I am familiar with has found markets for everything but the various plastics. The plastic has been offerred sorted, free of metal, to various firms free except for shipping, but no one is willing to pay the shipping cost. So unfortunately it winds up in a landfill.
