ScrapRight Blogs

zk Dec 16

Welcome to the ScrapRight blog! Today, we're discussing the benefits of using our scrap recycling and inventory management software for your business.

First, let's define what ScrapRight does. Our software streamlines the process of managing inbound and outbound shipments of scrap material. This includes tracking the movement of material within your facility, as well as organizing and regrading the material to optimize its value.

One of the key benefits of using ScrapRight is the ability to accurately track your COGS (cost of goods sold). By accurately tracking the movement and value of your scrap material, you can make more informed decisions about pricing and inventory management.

Another feature of ScrapRight is the ability to auto regrade material. This means that our software wil... read more

ATMs, or automated teller machines, are increasingly being used in the scrap and recycling industry to cut down on theft, provide peace of mind, and save money. By using ATMs, scrap and recycling companies can eliminate the potential for human error, which can be costly in this industry.

One of the main advantages of using ATMs in the scrap and recycling industry is that they can help to reduce theft. This is because ATMs provide a secure and efficient way for scrap and recycling companies to dispense cash to their customers. This eliminates the need for employees to handle large amounts of cash, which can be tempting for potential thieves.

Another benefit of using ATMs in the scrap and recycling industry is that they can provide peace of mind for both the company and its customers. By using... read more

The Azure environment that houses the ScrapRight application software is comprised of multiple servers to allow for optimal response, security, and performance. The basic infrastructure is designed around web services talking to backend SQL servers in a Microsoft Active-Directory security model.

The servers are optimized for the function they serve – SQL for transactions and Web for data caching and speed. The servers are not only optimized for compute properties but for bandwidth and IOPs; which is critical in the Azure environment and a major departure from the older on premise model.

All the servers share the same regional back-net and full backups. We also replicate to another region for added redundancy and disaster recovery. As an added level of response and performance we have a... read more

In response to the closure of nearly 300 rePlanet sites throughout California that handled California Redemption Value (CRV) containers, including aluminum cans (UBCs) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and glass bottles, California has enacted emergency legislation in the form of Assembly Bill 54 (AB 54) designed to assist recyclers in filling the void created by these closures. Although this legislation provides $5 million to help address the issues that have arisen in California’s CRV system, it does not help recycling center operators efficiently run their day-to-day operations, according to ScrapRight, a Waynesboro, Pennsylvania-based company that provides software to the recycling industry.

LEGISLATIVE ALERT – Action Needed

June 17, 2013

Issue: We expect that S. 394, a metals theft bill unfavorable to our industry, will be brought to the floor of the U.S. Senate as early as today, using a procedure known as “hotlining” (also called “unanimous consent”) which requires each and every Senator to first give their approval to move the bill to the floor for a vote. A single objection will stop the vote from occurring and force it into “regular order” making it vulnerable to filibuster. As S.394 is not seen as a bill of major national significance and therefore not worthy of risking a filibuster, the bill would then likely be stopped from moving any further at this point, which is what we need at this time. If we learn that the bill will b... read more

The Senate is moving to make metal theft a federal crime, with the Judiciary Committee poised to take action later this week on a bill that would impose a 10-year prison sentence on anyone caught stealing metal from telephone or cell towers, highway equipment or other critical infrastructure. Copper theft is a particular problem, with the average annual price on global markets quadrupling over the past decade. The bill would also make it tougher to fence stolen metal by requiring more record-keeping for recycling agents, and prohibiting them from paying cash for purchases larger than $100.


 

Sen. Amy Klobuchar, the Minnesota Democrat who wrote the bill, said metal theft has jumped more than 80 percent in recent years, and people have stolen from homes, churches ... read more

Scrap Yard Dog Junk YardWe've all had the horrible experience of running into Oscar The Grouch at the recycling center, salvage yard or junkyard; you name it - and finding that the scale master or buyer is clearly having a bad day. And it's not just a bit of a bad day: it's a realy no good, very horrible bad bad day. I don't know about you, but I've been known to make a graceful but hasty exit in cases like that; I just don't like selling to people who don't want to buy from me. 

On the other hand, I've met scale masters / buyers whose energy and enthusiasm were so inspiring, I'd have sold them the wheels off my scrap mobile. Attitude, you see, is everything. Now, I don't want to discount knowledge, persistence, a grea... read more
