Prices for non metal items

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?

Bad here as well. Plastic water bottles $.15 City still taking most everything in the recycling bins just no place will buy the product and it is stacking up. Sheet iron $100 net ton. Most of the good paying alum can and plastic places have shut down. Aluminum cans $.65
