Canadian Municipal Recycling Index

The Canadian Municipal Recycling Index tracks the changing market prices of recyclable commodities collected from municipal curbside recycling programs in Canada. The Index consists of a weighted basket of specific benchmark grades of scrap curbside materials. The benchmarks include specific grades of scrap glass, paper, plastic and metal. The Index includes snapshots of 5 viewpoints of market trends : the past 7 days, past 30 days, past 90 days, past 1 year and past 2 years.

The Composite Index is updated daily before noon EST and tracks 7 days per week. Transaction activity on the weekends is typically lighter; it is not uncommon to see no change reflected in the Index during this time period.

The Composite Index is derived from current spot market prices originating from the RecycleXchange Marketplace (RXM). This source of data is proprietary in nature and may not reflect external markets trends. To keep current with the market trends, you may visit this website or subscribe to the RSS Feed.
