Sloppy Markets

As January is about to end we are seeing a sliver of light through all of the accumulated bales of paper, plastic, etc. that have been in storage because the markets became so sloppy. Naw, not actually sloppy, it became almost non existent, especially for all the recyclers and brokers who took advantage of the export markets premium pricing only to be left out of significant domestic movement because of lack of support for those markets when they were called upon.

Ok, many of us are guilty of seeking out the highest prices, banking the premiums paid and now scurrying to find homes. Homes are starting to open up a bit, but who knows if it’s real, or just a tease. We’ll sure know in the next couple of months.

We need hard and soft covered books for destruction/recycling at our facilities in Tenn. and Wisc. Actually, we are very fortunate and looking for just about any grade of paper, plastic or items that are being liquidated and need recycled instead of land filled.
