Are there any companies that buy recyclables in Oklahoma?

Question

Heres the deal, I need any and every company that buys recyclables. I am developing a recycle program at a University so we'll have plenty of papers, plastics and such. We are located in Stillwater, Oklahoma so the closer the better but I'm still searching for any throughout Oklahoma. Thank you.

Midland Recycling is the largest purchaser of recyclables materials in the state.  They have two locations within Oklahoma.

You may also want consider Abitibi for paper recycling.  They distribute fund raising paper bins for organizations.  Our community recycling center, as well as local schools and churches, have them in their parking lot.

Here is another article on Midland Recycling.  It gives you a better understanding of what role they play.

They sign contracts with communities with the prices they will pay.  It varies depending on when the contracts were signed.  Here is a link to what the City of Norman was receiving.  Since then, though, Norman went to curbside recycling.
