Window Film Cores Recycling!

[TomTint]

We have thrown out countless numbers of old cores.....I wish I had had kept the 72" ones... We use them to re roll printed film.

Can I send you mine? These things pile up and I hate tossing them. Have this crazy idea I’ll find some use for them one day. Maybe a film credit

We pay short money for them now.. if I were closer to you it would be worthwhile to pick them up..but shipping them is probably a net negative

I dump most of the cores as soon as I can so they don't pile up.  But I do keep the end caps and put them in 40" boxes.  

My former distributer said that was what he wanted saved most.  I think he said they cost more than cores ? 

 

Someone who distributes will get my stash at some point.

  End caps are really box specific. Meaning that depending on what size box the distributor uses, it's usually engineered to fit the material with a specific end cap. ..some end caps are wider than others to absorb and spread the weight of the material. Others are like the little black ones with a 1/4" flange...basically good for 20" rolls of auto film... not 100 foot rolls of Dusted Crystal

I collect a few of them them post them on Craigslist for free. I’ve had all sorts of people that pick them up and make good use of them. From preschool teachers that use them for arts and crafts to fisher men to store or ship fishing poles.
