Methodology
Quoted price ranges are typical prices for a full HGV load. Paper and plastics prices are for collected (ex works) material, whereas those for glass and cans are for material delivered to a UK re-processor or port (FAS).
Paper and glass prices typically apply to all loads collected/delivered over a fixed period (e.g. one month), whereas plastics and cans prices are typically agreed on a load by load basis.
The quoted prices show the range of prices that is representative of the majority of trades. Prices that appear untypically high or low, that have been negotiated under unusual circumstance or to which special conditions apply may be excluded from the price range at the editor’s discretion.
