Currently, the best known way to recycle plastic is by depositing plastic waste in the yellow container.  Once here, the people in charge of handling it will be in charge of collecting the waste to take it to a specialized recycling center.

The waste generated at home can range from plastic bottles to bags. Bricks, fruit nets, transparent or silver paper, aerosols, polystyrene trays, packaging for other products, etc. are also common.

The first measure to recycle plastic at home is to include a specific trash can for this waste. Ideally, this bin should be placed next to the main garbage bin in the house. In this way, when throwing the waste we can more easily separate the plastic from the rest.

Another possible option is to purchase a domestic plastic shredder. This machine shreds the plastic so that it takes up very little space. The waste that we place both in the bucket and in the shredder will then be taken to the yellow container.

If you have a lot of plastic boxes it is best to try to sell them so that someone can use them and not sell them as weights since their value is much lower than what is paid to continue using the boxes.

If you have plastic and you want to sell it there are waste managers that buy it by weight, you can visit our article of Companies that sell plastic in Barcelona as many of them also buy the plastic.

We are interested in doing a project where we need plastic caps and bottles, if you have a quantity of caps or bottles and want to sell them maybe we are interested in buying them for subsequent washing and crushing.

We want to try to undertake a new project where we need a large amount of clean and shredded plastic to make plastic bricks to make houses with recycled plastic.

If you are interested in participating in this project with your help or capital contact us to find some form of collaboration, right now we have the desire, some material, space and some capital, but we lack time and more people to do something with the plastic we throw away.
