Completing tickets and work orders generally involves obtaining a considerable amount of information from customers and clients so that the yard or recycling center is in compliance. In this way, inventory control, compliance and customer services are all related. Because they are linked, many companies are already taking advantage of the latest technology availabl... read more
An online registry for scrap metal recyclers and bulk merchandise container dealers is now available at the state of Ohio’s Homeland Security Website.

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

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
NORTH DAKOTA SCRAP LAWS
North Dakota has become the 49th state to implement laws that regulate the sale of scrap metal.
