Start with an inventory. For each waste stream on your site, note the material, the quantity per month, how often it appears and how it is stored today.
Then sort the streams into three groups: materials with an active market (clean metals, plastics, paper, textiles), materials that could have a market if separated or cleaned, and materials that will stay a disposal cost.
For the first two groups, estimate what you lose today:
- (Market price + current collection cost) × monthly volume = real monthly loss.
Market prices vary by region and time, so ask several buyers or look at similar listings rather than relying on one figure.
Then check whether extra sorting or baling pays off: compare the higher price for the clean material with the cost of the labour, space and equipment it needs.
On ReWasteHub, you can look at listings for similar materials to get a feel for prices, and post your own listing to get real offers from buyers. The price and terms are always agreed directly between the companies.
