StRegisWaste Management, you would call them something else besides "greedy" if you hand to pay the bill for commercial waste monthly. The California commercial waste law was "worded" to allow the municipal waste companies to continue their monopoly, increase profitability and eliminate competition.You might ask why are they not selling the cardboard instead of giving to me for free? Well, their waste companies used to collect their recyclables and provided them with a credit. But with commodity prices down, it became less profitable and the waste companies got greedy and wanted to start charging for the extra collection route. Waste Management is especially guilty of this. That's how I got the bulk of my OCC in the past year and a half. Some paper recyclers pay for bales from grocers but they don't pay much and often deduct for contaminants. Many companies wait 2-3 months to receive a check for $50. Not worth the hassle to chase down for most businesses.
