In each comparison I have lots of stuff that can go into either category, and I'd like to make the most money for the recycling department of the city. (Note- I did ask city hall and just got shrugs. Thought someone here might know.)

Demand for recycled products is currently down, as are prices paid. Mixed paper is likely worth more than newspaper, and cardboard worth more than mixed paper.
