Ok fella's,thinking out of the box,what if you were the only store in town,that is the case with most paper recycling company's ,in fact a good portion of them are the mills,operating under blanket company's.The reason why they pay so little for the cardboard is simple
Because they can.Like said in past posts 30.00 a ton 60.00 a ton is the price that they pay because they set there own market,they have little or no competition so why pay more?Let me also say that cardboard is the lowest price of any paper,,just like tin or shred in the metal field.The real money is in office paper, magazines,and junk mail paper.these have much higher prices in the area of 300.00 a ton and more if baled in the right size bales,96 inch is what the buyers want not the small bales that most retail stores have,If I were younger I would jump at the chance to open a paper recycling center.It is true that you need a large yard with a covered area,a horizontal baler,a truck scale,and a bobcat or two,but not to much more.I hope that some younger guy's here, explore the great opportunity in this field.
