Run of show
Three streams carry most of the traffic: your house, your business and anything with a cord or a battery. The rest of the board is the heavy, the seasonal and the one-of-a-kind. Pick the stream, open its page, and the price is right there on the 2026-27 sheet.
Not sure which stream your item belongs to? Check what we recycle, or call us. Make BARC your first call, and if we can't recycle it we'll do our best to find someone who can.
