DESCRIPTION: Newspapers are one of the most collected materials in most community recycling programs. Newspapers have been collected and recycled through fund raising drives for charitable organizations. However, the tremendous increases in community recycling programs have created a supply glut and as a result the prices for old newspapers have dropped. The recycling technology an infrastructure to deal with this large glut is trying to keep up but demand is still behind the supply.
SUPPLY: Newspapers are included in about 99% of community recycling programs. A good community recycling program can expect to recover about two thirds of the newspapers in circulating. According to the Missouri Waste Composition Study newspapers comprise approximately 7.9% of municipal solid waste. Therefore, a community can expect to recover about 55,000 pounds (27 tons) of newspaper per year for every 1,000 residents served.
