More Price Increases Coming

Another round of price increases has been announced my most of the major manufacturers of trash can liners and plastic products.  The latest increases, set to go in to affect in July, will raise prices on anything made with plastics or oil by-products.  The increase will be 3-5% on most items, with some increases over 10% on some plastic products.   This will affect everything from spray bottles, trash liners, mop buckets, and other products made with plastics.

It also appears that paper goods will also increase in the next 30-45 days as transportation cost continue to rise nationally.  Increased global demand, fuel prices and the costs of petroleum are the major drivers of the latest round of increases.  Stay tuned for more information.
