Re: [papercreters] Re: Obtaining paper



Has anyone here tried phone books, yellow pages?  I met with someone at AT&T who thought it would be a great idea to build structures out of old phone books.  They don't know what to do with all of them, it's a recycling nightmare that should be able to be reused.

The deal is, someone provides those big businesses with a compactor
machine, in order to buy the bailed cardboard from them. The buyer sets
the time and date he will pick up and pay for the cardboard at the
current market price, problem is they usually only pick up and pay for
when the current market price is down. That is why you see such large
amounts behind businesses, the buyer is waiting for a better price.
