Question

How much do you get in California for recycling phone books and magizines?

Answer 1

No one actually pays for waste paper.  Usually, you pay to have paper recycled.  It is one of the few products that we recycle despite it being more expensive to recycle than simply making new paper.

Generally though, recycling waste paper will cost the disposer less than landfill charges.  Whereas it actually costs the disposer more to recycle plastic bottles than place them in a landfill.  Of course, for things like glass and metal, scrappers actually buy those.

Answer 2

I suspect an individual would get little to nothing.  Generally, buyers deal in tons of paper.
