    95/ton is a great price if it is LTL. If you are Generating FTL you should be more around 120-130/ton.

    If I could get $95 a ton for paper, I'd quit my job and start my own recycling business.

    Maybe its the cost of living difference since your in New York.

    Here in Ky the best price I've found for LTL is $40 ton. After collecting and hauling might barley break even.

    I've put ads out for free cardboard and paper pickup and the amount of replies is overwhelming. The material is out their and extremely easy to get just not worth it yet.
