Recycling Calculators
Last updated: October 2026
Composting Impact Calculator
Estimate the annual fertilizer savings and landfill methane avoided by composting your food and yard waste.
Composting Carbon Footprint Calculator
Quantify how much COβ-equivalent emissions your composting diverts compared to sending organic waste to landfill.
Battery Recycling Value Calculator
Estimates the net value of a batch of spent lithium-ion batteries from their cell weight, a published scrap-price benchmark for the chemistry, the share of that benchmark your buyer pays, and a per-battery handling fee.
Carbon Footprint Recycling Savings Calculator
Quantify the CO2 emissions avoided by recycling paper, plastic, glass, and metal over any time frame.
Electronic Waste Metal Recovery Calculator
Estimate the precious-metal value in a batch of e-waste β gold and silver from published metal contents per tonne of circuit boards or phones β minus your processing charge per pound.
Recycling Program Cost-Benefit Calculator
Calculates the net financial return of a recycling program over a multi-year period, accounting for setup costs, monthly operating expenses, material revenue, and waste-disposal savings.
Construction Waste Recycling Calculator
Calculate net financial savings from recycling construction and demolition debris instead of sending it to landfill.
Glass Bottle Recycling Calculator
Estimates the electricity saved by recycling glass bottles versus virgin glass production, based on bottle count, per-bottle weight, and an energy-savings factor per kilogram of cullet.
Plastic Recycling Savings Calculator
Estimates the energy saved by recycling PET or HDPE plastic into new resin instead of making virgin plastic, from the weight and the share that becomes resin.
Aluminum Can Recycling Value Calculator
Works out what your aluminum cans are worth, either at a deposit refund per can or at a scrap yard's price per pound.
Paper Recycling Water Savings Calculator
Find out how many gallons of water are saved when you recycle paper or cardboard instead of making it from virgin pulp.
Electronic Waste Value Calculator
Estimate the net recoverable value of precious metals in old electronics after processing costs.
Scrap Metal Value Calculator (Typical Prices by Metal)
Estimate what a scrap yard might pay for copper, brass, aluminum, stainless, lead or steel from the weight, using typical yard prices per metal, or your yard's own price.
Plastic Bottle Recycling Calculator
Estimates the total weight of plastic recovered by multiplying bottle count by average weight per bottle.
Waste Diversion Rate Calculator
Measures the percentage of your facility's total waste that is recycled, composted, or reused instead of sent to landfill.
Electronics Recycling Value Calculator
Estimate the net recoverable value of precious metals β primarily gold β locked inside smartphones, laptops, tablets, and circuit boards.
Glass Recycling Energy Savings Calculator
Estimates the energy saved by recycling glass containers into new glass, from the weight collected and the share that becomes usable cullet (EPA WARM data).
Paper Recycling Tree Saver Calculator
Find out how many trees your paper recycling efforts are saving over any time period.
Glass Recycling Energy Calculator
Estimates the energy, and its dollar value, saved by making glass from recycled cullet instead of raw materials, using EPA WARM figures.
E-Waste Precious Metal Recovery Calculator
Estimates the dollar value of gold and silver recoverable from e-waste such as smartphones, laptops, and desktop computers, based on device counts, recovery efficiency, and current precious metal prices.
Plastic Recycling Value Calculator
Estimate the market value of a batch of recyclable plastic by resin type.
Textile Recycling Impact Calculator
Rate the environmental benefit of diverting clothing and fabric from landfill as a relative impact score, accounting for textile type, condition, processing route and an optional water credit for cotton.
Paper Recycling Forest Conservation Calculator
Estimates how many trees recycling paper spares, from the weight recycled and the paper grade, using Conservatree's trees-per-ton figures.
Metal Scrap Recycling Calculator
Instantly calculate what your scrap metal is worth at the yard, factoring in weight, metal grade, live market price, and dealer fees.
Material Recovery Facility Efficiency Calculator
Measures how effectively a Material Recovery Facility (MRF) separates clean recyclables from incoming mixed waste, reporting recovery rate and residual (loss) rate as percentages.
Municipal Recycling Program Calculator
Project the annual tonnage and processing cost of a city-wide recycling program.
