Google Alert - Scrap metal

I constantly search the internet (or rather I have google search for me :-) and it is so hard to find anything but bad press about scrap collectors.  There is such an abundance of junk around if you know how to look for it that theft just to make a couple of bucks seems really stupid to me.

Most scrappies are hard working, honest people just trying to make ends meet, and I believe these thieves are just wrecking the good name of recycling and that stinks!

The UAE alchemist who turned fields of scrap into a factory of gold

In his possession are rare tools with which he works his lucrative and ancient craft: Aqua Regia, the "royal water" that can dissolve pure gold; furnaces that glow amber and red at 1,100 degrees to melt crucibles of precious metal into a fiery liquid; supercharged electrolysis plates that attract particles of gold like a magnet. He has them all.

But, as is the case with all true alchemists, Mr Kaloti's fortune began as nothing more than a rag-tag collection of scrap metals that he wrought over half a century into what is today the biggest gold refinery, forge and mint house complex in the Middle East.

Tense wars for scrap metal - The Daily Barometer

Tense wars for scrap metal - The Daily Barometer

Demand for scrap metal has greatly increased, and so has the price.  Common metals like aluminum and lead fetch about a dollar per pound on today’s market. Copper goes for about $3.51 per pound while nickel and tin fetch for more than $8.00 per pound at some scrap yards, according to infomine.com

“That’s up about 10 percent from last year,” Zeni said.

Because of rising metal prices, metal recycling is more competitive and secretive than most people realize.

“We’re all fighting for a nickel,” said a veteran metal recycler, who would only provide his nickname “Junior.” “It’s real cutthroat.”

Junior, who has been recycling metal for more than 30 years, has mastered the craft of scrapping. He does not disclose where he gets his metal, fearing other scrappers will exploit his sources.
“If I’m getting a dime, I don’t want them to know,” Junior said.

The weathered, calloused-handed man was originally drawn to metal recycling after he spent a couple years digging for gold. To Junior, metal recycling is not simply a means to an end. It’s a treasure hunt.

“You never know what’s going to be put out,” he said.
