Re: [papercreters] Re: Papercrete cost estimating

From what I have seen of the bales I will have to part it myself.   Jerry --- On Wed, 1/28/09, Greg House <ghunicycle@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Greg House <ghunicycle@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [papercreters] Re: Papercrete cost estimating To: papercreters@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, January 28, 2009, 10:51 AM Hey Jerry, When you get the cardboard and paper from the recycyling plant, is it already shredded, or do you have to do that part yourself?

I am not counting water since I am on a well in Central Texas. I have been looking at buying cardboard and paper from a local recyling center in San Marcos, this is usually around $50 - $150 per 1800 pounds depending on the going rate of paper. Not sure yet how far 1800 pounds of paper will go yet??? Jerry > Hi all, > I've followed this forum for a while and found it very informative > as well as interesting.
