Canadian Municipal Recycling Composite Index
The Canadian Municipal Recycling Composite 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
