Containers, commonly referred to in the industry as OCC, consists of used boxes, containers or other packaging made from unbleached, un-waxed paper with a ruffled, or corrugated, inner liner. These corrugated materials, also called containerboard, are used for things like pizza or shipping boxes.

Plastic, 77 pounds , at .30.
Hard to understand with the accent, but I think the price on cans and plastic was going to increase this week.
Of course. My luck.

Couldnt you sell that stuff for more than scrap, or is it not worth the effort?

It's a shame , but these were custom-sized pieces. Most restaurant equipment is a hard sell right now, but these would have been especially difficult and they also took up a lot of space.
