    Recycling Rates - Waste Paper

    I was searching for the recycling rate for waste paper. That is the rate per kg for recycling.

    I gave about 800 kgs of old packaging paper and cardboard to someone for free yesterday (as they could cart it away) but was curious to what the current rate was.

    Checked online but could not find anything.

    Those old ladies with their carts of cardboard make a pittance a load ($0.70-$1 per kg). Why not call one of the paper collection companies up?

    Remember to wet the cardboard in the middle before selling it...

    And check for the 'magic' button on the buyers scales that takes off approximately the extra amount of added water
