    California plastic/glass & Alum prices

    I wonder how some (new) yards here in Tucson can pay so much for certain items. I thought maybe they were shipping the items to California illeagly. But not sure now that I have seen the prices...
    Statewide Average Monthly Scrap Value Notice



    Some odd prices by me but I will take it when I can get it are...
    #1 plastic bottles .30 lb (Calif average is .25 lb)
    #2 plastic milk/water .08 lb (Calif average is .187 lb)
    #2 plastic color .02-.05 lb (Calif average is .187 lb)
    Glass bottles/jars .06 lb (Calif average is .0015)
    aluminum cans .80 - .90 lb! (Calif average is .80 lb)

    Unless they are taking them for the deposit value but some items have no CA redemption value

    Warsaw , Ind. In the heart of the lakes, and down the street from the hotel where Al Capone stayed.

    They are probably baling the plastics and filling a semi trailer. They definitely can get a better price dealing in a semi load.
