Alright, so you wanna know where to get them recycled plastic bricks, huh? Well, lemme tell ya, it ain’t like goin’ to the corner store for a loaf of bread. But it ain’t rocket science neither.
First off, why you want these plastic bricks anyway? I hear they’re cheaper than them regular clay ones. Yeah, folks say they don’t cost as much to make. That’s good for the pocketbook, I tell ya. But gotta be careful, they say plastic can catch fire somethin’ awful. Burns real bad, and the smoke, oh honey, it’ll make ya choke. They say it’s got poison in it, that smoke. So gotta watch out for that.
Now, where to find ’em… Some folks make these things called “ecobricks.” That’s just takin’ old plastic bottles and stuffin’ ‘em full of more plastic, like them grocery bags and whatnot. Pack ‘em tight, and they become like a brick, ya see? Strong enough to build with, they say. I ain’t never done it myself, but I seen pictures. Looks like it takes a lot of time, though.
Then there’s the real deal, the bricks made from recycled plastic in factories. They ain’t cheap to make, I heard, especially if you want to make a whole bunch. Something about fancy machines and whatnot. But they say these bricks are strong, stronger even than them clay ones. And lighter too, so you don’t break your back liftin’ ‘em. That’s a good thing, let me tell ya, my back ain’t what it used to be.
- They come in different sizes and colors, too. So you can make your house look pretty, I guess. Some folks use ‘em for their decks, you know, the place where you sit outside and drink your lemonade. Or for them raised beds where you grow your tomatoes. Fancy stuff, I tell ya.
- And they say it’s good for the world, too. Keeps all that plastic outta the landfills and the water. I don’t know much about that, but I reckon it’s a good thing. We gotta take care of this old earth, ya know? It’s the only one we got.
But the price, that’s always the question, ain’t it? Well, I heard they cost somewhere between four and seven dollars a brick. That ain’t chicken feed, but if they last longer, maybe it’s worth it. You gotta think about these things.
So where do you actually buy ‘em? Well, that’s the tricky part. It ain’t like they got ‘em piled up at the hardware store, not yet anyway. You gotta look around. Search online, that’s what the young folks do. They got these things called “search engines” now. You type in what you want, and it tells you where to find it. Amazing, I tell ya. You can try lookin’ for companies that make these bricks or places that sell recycled building materials. There are some folks that even make bags outta old plastic bags and those people might know where to get plastic bricks. It’s like a treasure hunt, but for bricks.
And remember, always ask questions. Don’t just take someone’s word for it. Make sure you know what you’re gettin’. You don’t want to end up with a bunch of bricks that ain’t gonna hold up or catch fire. That’s the last thing you want, I tell ya. So be careful, be smart, and you’ll find them recycled plastic bricks you’re lookin’ for.
It’s a new world we live in now with all this newfangled stuff and sometimes it’s hard to keep up, you know? So, just take your time, ask around and keep searchin’.
