Northeast Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs) Commodity Values Report
The Northeast Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs) Commodities Values Report for the period October - December 2023 showed a significant rise in the average commodity price for Q4. The average value of all commodities increased by 36% with residuals and 32% without from Q3 to Q4 2023.
These survey results reflect the differing laws and collection options in the participating states. Four of the states have beverage container deposit laws. As a result, fewer glass bottles, PET bottles and aluminum cans are processed in MRFs in those states. Those MRFs are also likely to have less revenue from those recyclables. In addition, the report reflects a mix of single stream, dual stream and source separation to collect recyclables with single stream being the most common approach. The type of collection used will have an impact on MRF design and operation. Thus, the data from this report reflects the unique blend of facilities and statewide laws in the reporting states.
