HISTORICAL COMMODITY PRICING

The following is a database of all pricing information gathered by Waste & Recycling News since January 1996. The data represents prices recyclers are paying for loose materials in eight* metropolitan areas (see Editor's Note below). The data is intended to reflect pricing trends in those markets. Prices listed are in U.S. dollars, per ton and delivered to door, unless otherwise noted.

The highest and lowest prices are dropped before the average is computed. Waste & Recycling News generates this pricing information through interviews with material buyers believed to be reliable. But Waste & Recycling News does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of the information. Waste & Recycling News provides no warranties of any kind.

Select city and commodity. Then select Show Prices. Shown are all prices reported at two-week intervals.

*Editor's Note: In February 2002, Waste & Recycling News made two changes to our Commodity Pricing Report: We reduced the number of metropolitan areas for which we track commodity prices from eight to five, and we removed three commodity categories from the report. The five cities for which Waste & Recycling News now tracks commodity prices are New York, Atlanta, Chicago, Houston and Los Angeles. The three cities eliminated from the report as of February 2002 are Miami, Denver and Seattle. The three commodity categories discontinued as of February 2002 are Computer Printout, Combination HDPE and Landfill Tipping Fees.
