This interesting read provides an overview into one of the most overlooked sectors, and that is the scrap metal sector of steel merchants. The scrap metal industry in South Africa makes up a small, but valuable part of our economy. Firstly, scrap metal can be broken down into two categories namely ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Non-ferrous metals make up any metal that does not contain iron, for instance copper. While ferrous refers to any metal that contains iron, such as steel. Items such as copper cables as well as manhole covers are often stolen by criminals, who then attempt to sell the stolen metals to scrap metal and steel merchants. Most merchants, however, are able to spot stolen metal or cable very easily, and duly inform the relevant authorities. Another recent development involving limitations with regards to the export of scrap metal has also had an effect on the industry. With numbers like these it is little wonder the scrap metal industry in South Africa is booming at the moment. Steel sheets and steel plates are supplied in various grades. A massive amount of steel products end up in our landfills each day, which is such as shame as the majority of steel products we discard can quite easily be recycled. Many people are also not aware of the fact that there are people out there that actually have a business in buying and selling unwanted or scrap steel products. They generally price the steel according to the weight and naturally different types of metals yield different prices. The steel you sell to these merchants are then generally sold onto larger steel companies that pay a cheaper price because they purchase bigger quantities of scrap steel at a time. Remember that recycling steel has a number of benefits as it helps to conserve a vast amount of natural resources such as coal and energy.
