Let me add one other type of yard: one owned and operated by a city.
I go to GreenGuys Recycling in San Marcos, Texas that is operated by the city. They do have a great system where everything brought in is set upon by workers who break down and collect all that is not shred, so that may be where they make more money. Also there is a charge on resident's garbage bill that helps support the system.
I don't know if that is what makes the difference, but this week they were paying $7.50/hundred while my local owner operator was paying $5.00/hundred.
