Last week we (#ReplayWorkshop) received, free, a full trailer of 275 gallon IBC bottles, already washed, pure HDPE (white or natural), for #recycling with our #preciousplastic shredder. 90 of them in total, about 47 pounds each.
A local trucking company accumulates more than they can sell or reuse. Payment from previous recycler dropped to be less than the cost of labor and transportation. They were delighted to have a local place where they could just bring the trailer and see it emptied.
Carving mallet. Head is overmolded then turned; material is mixed sweepings/waste from #ReplayWorkshop (mostly HDPE and PP). Ash handle is reclaimed pallet wood. No finish on the wood yet. Most likely will just apply boiled linseed oil. It's made for use, not decor.
