Answer Hi jac
Aluminum from pots, with any steel or plastic removed, is currently about .45 US dollars per pound. Very recyclable, as is just about all aluminum.
Newspaper -- yes, typically $5 - $20 per ton.
White office paper - yes, currently .03 US dollars/pound. This refers to the type of paper that comes out of a photocopier. Other types are not included.
CDs, cassette tapes - I have never seen these recycled
glass - yes. Bottle glass comes in three colors, amber, flint and green, and is worth more if you keep them separate. Plate glass is worth less. Low value.
