We at CRP have discontinued collection of plastic containers until we can find suitable storage space. Humboldt County has serious problems with plastic recycling. Reclaimed plastic materials must be shipped out of the county because-there is no plant set up here to make new containers or other products out of used plastic. There is also insufficient volume dud to Humboldt county's low population to make a viable run for shipping out of county.
Plastic containers take up a lot of space for their relatively low weight.
The answer as we see it is to use less plastics so there is no need for shipping it at all. Eliminating their use or discarding of non-reusable plastic containers is our ultimate goal. We at CRP suggest using less plastic-reduce the volume at the source. Seek other alternatives to plastic. Buy in bulk or in glass containers and reduce your consumption of packaged materials.
