Interesting Recycling Facts
Are You Ready for Your Cut of a Multibillion-Dollar Industry?
Scrap paper, plastic and metal recycling in the United States is a multibillion-dollar endeavor. Only those that enter into a reputable recycling program will truly realize their maximum potential for profit.
Of the millions of tons of waste produced annually, one statistic shows the United States had only a 33% recycling rate in 2007. Why don’t more businesses recycle universal waste to cash in on their leftover materials? The answer is simple: many companies do not realize certain leftover materials aren’t waste, they’re assets.

Tips to Maximize Your Recycling Profit
- Segregate and sort your materials with care. Recyclable materials typically have a percentage threshold of elements that can be present other than the primary material being recycled. Keeping materials completely segregated from each other will make the product more marketable and valuable. Complete Recycling assists clients to get the most out of scrap paper, plastic and metal recyclables through our industry knowledge on current standards. We can also suggest solutions for comingled materials that are still in demand, so clients can make decisions on what is most profitable for their recycling efforts.
- Use expert methods when preparing your recyclables. Scrap material prices are reliant upon demand in the market and the quality, makeup, size and weight of the products. Top prices are paid by scrap consumers such as paper mills, metal smelters and plastic foundries for recyclables that are prepared and processed to meet their specifications. Some examples include processing paper, plastics and metals through shears or balers to shred and compact materials into ideal form. Complete Recycling’s expertise and equipment programs enable us to maximize the demand for and value of our client's scrap materials.
- Remember: higher volume always yields greater return. Ultimately, prices paid for recyclable materials are reliant upon weight and volume of scrap. Businesses receive payment for their materials based on pounds or tonnage. Finding markets for our clients’ recyclable products is always easiest when companies produce the largest amount of scrap possible. This eliminates many logistical concerns for scrap consumers because it allows their supply requirement to generate from a single source: a Complete Recycling client. Additionally, making materials as dense as possible keeps transportation costs to a minimum, allowing clients to retain more profit.
