PVC pipe

Hi,

Im looking to make a shredder and was wondering if anyone has used one to shred PVC pipe as I have a lot of off cuts from work that I would like to recycle.

I have various sizes of PVC pipe, up to 4 inches. Would it just be a case of using a strong motor?

Thanks

Ollie

It mainly depends on the thickness. However PVC releases chloride when heated. A toxic gas. It is advised to not recycle that by amateurs because of the hazards
