Paper recycling is a great way to get into the recycling business.
Paper is divided up into types and grades and each of these have a different value.
Some grades are as follows:
Corrugated Cardboard: cardboard shipping boxes, sheet cardboard.
News print: non glossy newspapers, and flyers
Magazines: glossy printed materials
Sorted office paper: general purpose non glossy office sorted by color.
White ledger: White printer and copier paper
White Envelope: White envelope paper with no plastic windows. ( This material is the most valuable)
Mixed: mixed unsorted clean printed and non printed scrap paper
Paper brokers receive this material baled
Onsite document shredding.
This involves investing into a portable shredder and box truck or trailer to put the material into. large companies that generate a lot of sensitive paperwork that needs to be shredded will pay to have this material securely disposed of.
Get paid to shred the documents and then get paid for the recyclable paper that’s left.
