If a recycler takes cereal boxes at all, they will probably take it along with mixed waste paper. The "cardboard" from which cereal boxes are made is really known as chipboard or paperboard. It is not the same grade of paper as the corrugated cardboard that is used to make shipping and moving boxes. Of these two types of cardboard, corrugated cardboard has a much higher value as a recycled raw material.

Glass is a widely recycled item. Unbroken containers are the best, and clear glass is the most valuable. Do not recycle: Pyrex, ceramics, mirrors, light bulbs, plate glass, or tableware. Broken glass is difficult and dangerous to sort. Plastic containers should be marked with a recycling code in the form of a number. The most widely accepted plastics are numbers 1 and 2. Some areas also restrict plastic based on its shape or color. See similar questions...

This is intentional to avoid any problems from the paper tube swelling during shipment. Please 'sweat' the tube by putting some thin CA on a paper towel and rub it on the inside of the phenolic as described on page 46 step 1. Our apologies. We had a few kits ship with a mismatch between the tube and the stab parts. Please email partssupport@greatplanes.com with a copy of this FAQ and your mailing information and we will get you replacement parts immediately. See similar questions...

If the baler is to be fed by a wheel loader or similar machine, see that you have enough clearance to operate a loaded bucket above the baler's feed hopper. See similar questions...

Noise levels in industrial settings have become an important occupational health issue. The noise generated by different types and makes of balers can vary widely. You are well advised to check on the regulations and noise level limits that are in force for your facility then request noise level data from your baler manufacturer. See similar questions...

Cardboard is pretty much just thick paper. The most common type of cardboard is called "Corrugated Cardboard," which is the stuff with the wavy insides. Other types of cardboard include chipboard (cereal boxes, centers of paper towel rolls, etc.), color filing folders, brown mailing envelopes, and brown copier paper wrappers.

When the cotton bale was rolled out of the press box - it was ready to be weighed. Huge hooks were put on the bale and it was hoisted off the floor by a rope and pulley system. A sixteen pound weight – called a “P” was placed on the “P-scale” at the spot where the bale of cotton would balance – usually around the 500 pound mark. (Today a bale of cotton still weighs 500 pounds but is half the size of the old fashioned bale. See similar questions...

There has been a lot of testing on the compressive strength of bale walls, in addition to the lateral & sheer strength. Bale walls surpass many other building materials in this regard. In addition, the bale wall, once the plaster has been keyed into it, becomes a solid unit which acts as a stress skin panel. See similar questions...

Again, a lot of testing has been done in this area. The R-value of a bale wall varies from R-40 to -50, depending on the testing. These figures are attainable with good building practice. See similar questions...

You can apply lime, gypsum, or earthen plasters on bale walls. It is important to use materials of similar permeability on the inside and outside walls. Some folks opt to paint the interior bale walls once they are plastered; it is important to use a water-based paint, and not an oil-based one. The best option would be to paint on a tinted lime-wash as a finish as these have the least effect on wall permeability. See similar questions...

No, in fact, we would recommend against plating aluminum wheels. At any time, a rock pit, scrape or deicing/harsh chemicals can break the seal between the plating and the alloy, allowing corrosion to start, resulting In bubbling under the chrome surface, then ultimately peeling. Solution, those wheels can be polished to as good or better of a finish than chrome, and with a little bit of maintenance, they can be kept that way. See similar questions...

We designed our aluminum rings to have all of the same great characteristics of our nylon rings. They are smooth, strong, safe and weld-free. They are lightweight and come in nine great colors. The nylon and aluminum rings come in slightly different sizes. The nylon rings are thicker, and easier to adjust. The aluminum rings are grippier, and fancier looking. The colors are slightly different. The nylon rings are slightly more durable. See similar questions...

Though we touched on the subject at the beginning of the FAQ’s, you will find this is no longer a popular option as the handling of messy, used filters combined with the cleaning process turns off most people. Reusable filters must be cleaned and maintained as much as 2-3 times more frequently than disposable pleated air filters. Pay special attention to the removal of all moisture before reinserting the reusable air filter back into the HVAC system. See similar questions...
