Pro Tips for Recycling Revenue
- Revenue rates vary significantly by material type (aluminum, copper, and steel all price very differently) and fluctuate with commodity markets.
- Sort materials by type before recycling, since mixed/contaminated loads often receive a lower blended rate than clean, sorted materials.
Common Recycling Revenue Mistakes to Avoid
- Mixing different recyclable material types together, which often results in a lower blended payout rate than sorting materials separately.
