Paper Prices
Waste paper traditionally moves to UK paper mills or overseas mills via a waste paper merchant or the merchanting arm of a waste management company. The letsrecycle.com guide prices shown here are for the collection of material by the mills and also for the delivery of material to local waste paper merchants. See details below prices for further information.

Notes: Merchant prices shown are for material delivered to a local waste paper merchant. Lots smaller than one tonne may receive 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 payment.
