Hefei waste paper recovery prices stabilized

Since 2008, due to the financial crisis, the purchase price of scrap in Hefei, Anhui province has risen and fell like a roller coaster, causing a huge impact on the scrap purchase industry. It was learned from the waste recycling market in the provincial capital that the prices of waste paper and beverage bottles have stabilized at the moment, but due to the volatility of copper prices, many waste shop owners simply do not accept it.

5 tons of waste paper removed every 4 days

A waste recycling station on Yuexi Road in Hefei, the owner of the recycling station, Li, said, “I mainly recycle cardboard boxes and I have been operating for four or five years. Although the current market is not good before the financial crisis broke out in 2008, it has slowly recovered.”

Li Bo said that when the economic crisis broke out in 2008, the price of waste paper bins was two or three cents a pound, and by 2009 it had risen to 4 cents per catty, and now it is basically kept at 5 cents per catty. Before the recycling station, the reporter saw that an JAC truck was loading cartons into the car. "The goods are destined for Daxing Town. They are sent every 4 days. A car can hold 5 tons of waste paper cartons. The price is 0.55 yuan/kg." said Li Bo, the boss.
