Rechargeable batteries are found in tools, toys, security systems, camera, solar lights, cell phones, laptops, tablets and hand-held communication units. Call Elizabeth for more information @ 372-3381.

CTRA Monthly Price Sheet
Below you will find the most current price sheet. The shipping dock strikes on the West Coast have put a wrinkle in our transport and marketing in the last few weeks because nothing is moving out of those docks. OCC is up 35% and Mixed Paper is up 17%. Things are looking better! REMINDER: The recycling market is desperate for more recycled aluminum! They estimate a recycled can is processed and back on the store shelves within a month. Look at your community and see where your aluminum is‌ by colleting, baling a selling that aluminum you are making a big difference and getting paid very well! As always, thank you for everything you do for the Panhandle! ‌Elizabeth COMMODITIES Steel Cans UBC (Aluminum Cans) PET HDPE Natural HDPE Colored HDPE & PET OCC (Corrugated) * ONP (#6 News) * Deink (#8 News) SOW (High Grade) White Ledger CPO Computer Paper Mixed Paper
