SUBJECT: CTRA Monthly Price Sheet
Below you will find the current market prices for June, 2012. SOW is WOW! Up 30% from last month! If your community is not recycling Sorted Office Waste, now is the time to start! Paper adds-up quickly and sells very well. SOW includes, printer paper, envelopes, manila envelopes, magizines, brochures, some newspaper, shredded paper. Banks, schools, businesses and City Hall are all great producers of SOW. The other papers and plastics held pretty steady. OCC saw a 2.63% drop for June. Give me a call when you are ready for a pick-up. Thanks for everything you do for the Panhandle! …elizabeth
