Recovered Materials Markets

The California Integrated Waste Management Board at one time maintained the Recovered Materials Marketing Guides to provide recycling and marketing information for collectors, processors, product manufacturers, academics, and the general public. However, numerous commercial ventures and trade journals now provide price information with better speed and accuracy.

For recovered materials market prices, there are several commercially available resources, including:

• AMM Recycling Manager
• Global Recycling Network
• letsrecycle.com
• Recycling and Composting Online
• Recyclingmarkets.net

U.S. EPA also maintains a pricing information resource page.

Other information regarding glass, metals, organics, paper, plastic, and tires is located under those topics within the CIWMB website. Check our Materials/Waste Types Site Index for information on other materials.

If you maintain market prices of recovered materials and would like to be listed on this page as a resource, contact the staff person listed below.
