Wow that’s impressive on the aluminum cans, and lower than we are here in Florida on cardboard.
I’m getting 4 cents a pound for cardboard and 35 cents for aluminum cans

Some states dump millions into recycling programs that lose money. According to Google Search, 5 tons of #1 scrap plastic ( clean ) is about $350 wholesale on the open market.
On a side note: purified and processed plastic pellets start at around $0.60 /lb wholesale .

Here in Mesa Az they stopped buying plastic bottles. The city has said to throw glass bottles in the landfill. No one is buying. Shred is sad literally giving it away. I haul at least a ton at a time. Copper has picked up so I do sell my bare bright and make money. My local scrap yard used to be over full now it's near empty on average. What's going on in your neck of the woods?

Update:
I was talking to the guy at the glass plant - they are now paying $16 /ton for clear glass that is clean and crushed ... still has a 1,000 ton minimum.
Apparently they won't buy colored glass due to how difficult it is to get consistent batch colors.

Nice!
I get $2 a piece for 40x48 that don't need repair. Over the last 2 weeks, I've dropped off 157. Usually about 50 percent are good.

Crazy stuff. They actually pay for # 1 plastic ?
We have to pay about $ 500.00 / ton to get rid of our single sort recycling. (Single sort is a mix of plastic,metal cans,and a lot of cardboard.)
