Notes: Merchant prices shown are a guide for material delivered to a local waste paper merchant. Lots smaller than one tonne may receive zero or lower payments and deliveries of several tonnes of material are likely to attract the higher payments especially if this is on a regular basis. Quality of material is important and cleaner and well-presented material can attract a premium.
