All recovered product is sold through official and approved markets, using established indexes such as the London Metal Exchange and Commodity Markets.
Based on the weight collected and analysis, we will normally return a minimum of 90% of the market value based on the average market price for the month prior to the date of collection. This enables you to estimate the value prior to collection.
WasteCare are approved by the Inland Revenue to self-bill, enabling us to return value, either off-setting against charges or returning at net value normally within 15 days of collection.
