Are plastic Yaks repairable?

I took out the yak this weekend for the kids but it was nothing more than a big plastic anchor. One end's busted pretty good. Got it home and noticed some damage, so I picked at a piece and it came right off. Now it's got a giant hole in it. Think the garbage man will pick this up? Should I just drive around with it until I see one of those construction bins and toss it in there?
Yak.
Problem.
I'm not really interested in fixing this, just wondering if it's worth it to someone else. Thinking I could cut it up small enough to garbage bag with a skill saw.

Not worth a thing. I recon you can bring it by the recycling center and they'll do something with it.

Plastic can be welded. There are some specific tools you can use. West system epoxy will also bond to plastic well if prepped correctly. I have repaired plastic fuel tanks on tractors with west system epoxy and it did fine.

Turn that eyesore into something beautiful. I think Mrs. Gaston would love to see it in the front yard.

Yes they are repairable in general, but not usually on that scale.

Seems like you could get access to the back side of it from the hatch, but ain't nobody got time fo that.

Don't you just love those kinds of gifts? On the bight side, at least your gift is movable, unlike the 1,000 pound worthless piano in my living room.

Find a local pond.
Fill the yack with bricks, weights, dead body, etc.
sink the yack in local pond.

you can plastic weld it, but given it's age and quality, not sure it is worth it. pretty sure a coonass could have duct taped and visqueened that thing into shape in 15 minutes.

Looks like the UVs have taken all the Polyphenylene Ether out of that puppy.

If you really just wanted to try it, back it with duct tape. Fill with epoxy. Not much epoxy can't fix. But yeah that thing looks like it's seen better days.

Once it get brittle there ain't nothing to repair.
Shoot it with a Judge.

Need to put 303 on your kayaks to protect from UV damage. Getting brittle from UV damage makes them unrepairable.
