Fall is bringing a rise in recyclables pricing, with curbside fiber and plastics grades experiencing notable increases in November. For fibers, the national average price for corrugated containers (PS 11) increased this month by $4 per ton, from $73 to $77 per ton. This compares with $30 per ton this time last year. OCC prices have been steadily climbing throughout 2023 after they hit a floor of $29 a ton in December 2022.
