We have no roads to speak off so our garbage has to be shipped out. Many choose to burn thier garbage instead. The stench of the burning plastic is horrific and is causing many health problems. We are working on education but our only solution at the moment cost money so many turn a deaf ear. Most of the plastic is from water and soda bottle much of it left behind by "Day Trippers". I'm looking for any information I can about possiabilties of turning "trash to cash", plastic shedders, adding shedded plastic to conceret or any other ideas regarding recycling of plastic.
