Vacuum recycling

I will one day own my father’s vacuum cleaner shop and I hate all the vacuums that get thrown in the dump. The problem with vacuums is I know they don’t have a recycling symbol on them so they always go in the garbage when they aren’t repairable. I would love to shred the plastic and make something useful out of them, I have been dreaming of this for years but have no idea how to start. I found this website from a Facebook video and would love some tips to get started! Right now I can afford the start up cost so some at him diy to start would be great!

Hi there, is it mostly about vacuum cover recycling or the inside components as well?

What sort of tips do you expect from people here?

Have you researched the extend of this problem / how many vacuum cleaners are thrown away and so on?

Hi,The plastic components particularly engineering plastics,sometimes even small size also comes with material identification which must be marked in the inner side.
normally PPCP,ABS,PS OR PC ABS in vacuum machines housing.you can also do simple text methods.you can recycle those grades separately.best wished.
