Sure it is free since it comes from other companies.

That's like saying if my neighbor comes over and gives me a free pizza it wasn't really free because I have to pay my mortgage.

Where did anyone say they were leasing the MRF for free? Did I miss something?

It's a fully operational recycling facility. JBI have to ensure the plastic that goes into the P2O processor meets the standards of the NY DEC. By leasing the recycling facility they can sort the plastic but can make money by selling profitable recycled materials such as paper and desirable plastic such as plastic code #1, water bottles, they get 30 cents a pound for that. Most recycling facilities break even, JBI do not have to pay the $90 to $92.50 per ton landfill fees that are paid in the Niagara Region that other recycling facilities have to pay. This means the chances of breaking even, if not being profitable, are that much higher. JBI don't care if they just break even, they will make their money with the Plastic to Oil. The recycling facility has approximately 11 loading docks and can process 1000 tons per day, a limit of 300 metric tons can be inside the facility at any one time.

The recycling facility is right beside the blending site. Great place to set up a Plastic to Oil Processor in the near future, I would think.

That's true it's not free, the MRF is being PAID to accept it.

If the MRF is not making a profit, then and only then, can you state that the plastic is not free.

Anybody familiar with cost analysis should understand that.
