Bad market slows paper recycling
If you plan to sell your leftover paper for recycling,you may have to hold out a bit longer.
According to Steven Hill of Kansas Fiberboard 6th and New Hampshire, the market has been bad for the last three or four months that the company has stopped buying paper.
Kansas Fiberboard was paying 90 cents per hundred pounds before the decline start, but dropped the rate to 25 cents per hundred before discontinuing to buy waste paper.
"The kinds of paper made from recycled fibers are now in ample supply." Hill said yesterday. "There's a large oversupply of the paper. Almost all mills across the country are short of orders, so the paper has backed up."
Hill said the paper market was down because the public had stopped buying products made of recycled paper.
According to Hill, this decline in demand for recycled paper hasn't affected the regular paper market. Products made from recycled paper are only slightly different than those used in regular paper is finer, recycled paper is used in heavyweight paper products.
Hill said the recycled paper, as a finished product, was as expensive as regular paper. He said this was because collecting, processing and cleaning made it expensive.
Fiberboard was purchasing it at $1.50 per
hundred pounds.
The price of the cardboard, although it has fallen from $2.50 per hundred in the last three months, has caused a small problem for the city of Lawrence. The scavenging of木材 from trash cans downtown is profitable and part-time job for some Lawrence residents.
The problem with the scavengers has been that when they remove the cardboard from the trash can, they scatter the trash in the downtown alleys, Hill said.
Hill said that there was a market for cardboard in Lawrence and that Kansas
