Questions
What are plastic recycling prices per pound?
Median asking prices on Scrapo, from the Scrapo Price Index for October 2026: PP $0.28 / lb; PET $0.25 / lb; HDPE $0.34 / lb; LDPE $0.22 / lb; PVC $0.18 / lb; ABS $0.25 / lb.
These are prices for loads traded between businesses - baled, ground or pelletised material by the truckload - not what a recycling centre pays for a bag of bottles. The form matters as much as the polymer: clean regrind and repro pellets sell well above mixed or baled scrap of the same plastic.
What is the price of recycled plastic per ton?
Per metric ton (2,204.6 lb): PP $620 / MT; PET $550 / MT; HDPE $750 / MT; LDPE $490 / MT; PVC $400 / MT; ABS $550 / MT. That is the median asking price across every listing of each material posted on Scrapo in the last 12 months, converted to US dollars.

How do I find plastic recycling companies near me?
Every offer on Scrapo shows the city and state it ships from, so you can start with the companies nearest you. For low-value grades, freight usually decides the deal: a buyer a few hundred miles away often beats a better price quoted from across the country. The companies listed on this page are sorted by most recent activity, with their location beside each name.
Where can I buy recycled plastic pellets?
US sellers on Scrapo list repro pellets, PCR pellets and off-grade resin alongside regrind and bales. Each offer states the polymer, grade, melt flow where the seller knows it, quantity and price, and you contact the seller through the listing. The latest pellet offers are listed on this page.
How do I sell scrap plastic in the United States?
Post a listing: the polymer, the form (bales, regrind, pellets, purge), the quantity, your price per pound or per ton or price on request, and where it ships from. Posting is free. Buyers looking for that material see it and contact you directly. Stating contamination, colour mix and realistic monthly volume up front is what turns a first enquiry into a truckload.
