Go onto Goggle and look up US scrap plastics by grade, condition, source, colour and the like. There are also plastics scrap exchanges as well.

I have also been in touch with domestic plastics buyers.

Both sources can give you a reasonable estimate of the range of scrap prices. A scrap yard if they spend the money on sorting can increase their revenue per ton five fold. The price of scrap plastic mirrors that of WTI crude. High crude prices encourages plastics users to use reprints, off cuts and sorted recycled plastics to get a substitute for virgin oil.
