"We buy all grades of paper"?

Question

I found this thing called David Cutler Industries and it said in the ad"We buy all grades of paper". it turns out that they are a paper MANUFACTURING company and dont buy paper. Where can I go in Philadelphia(PA) to get money for paper. I have a big stack of newspapers....

Answer 1

In the same way that you'd pay for several cubic yards of gravel, but a single pebble has no value, you just aren't in a position to sell newspaper as a wholesale commodity unless you are selling literally tons of the stuff.

I believe that David Cutler does indeed buy all grades of paper - but they buy them by the truckload / ton through established contracts.  

So unless your big stack of newspapers is really really big, I'd just make sure it got recycled and not worry about getting paid for it.

Good luck.

Answer 2

Almost all paper companies manufacture recycled paper.  The have to buy used paper to recycle paper.
