Prices for curbside natural high-density polyethylene continued to climb at the end of the fall. Paper prices, however, remained painfully low. The following prices reflect values seen on the Secondary Materials Pricing Index on RecyclingMarkets.net in mid-December 2019. The national average price of natural HDPE from curbside collection programs reached 58.25 cents per pound, compared with 51.75 cents in mid-November. In some areas, the plastic type was trading as high as 62.00 cents per pound, a 10-year high.
