Scrap Metal Recycling & It's Dangers

---

With scrap metal thrown in a dumpster or placed at the curbside many dangers can come out from irresponsible recycling of these materials. 

We created our business to help divert these materials from our landfills and water tables to avoid contamination and destruction to our beautiful nature. Doing so will help protect the environment and its growth in the future keeping animals, plants and insects safe and healthy, contributing to the balance in our environment.

It has became more of a problem to keep that balance as time passes by even though we have the knowledge on how to recycle these materials and keep our planet safe and healthy. Not all cities, towns and county's properly collect these items and educate their communities enough to have any real affect on protecting our natural resources, our environment and avoid the landfills.

Our goal is to expand our service world wide to correct the current unorganized scrapping and provide our world and environment a solution! 95% of scrappers do not contribute tax money back into our economy. They do not pay taxes on what they collect and cash in on. It's unfortunate how our government has left it go on for so long unregulated without any solutions or collecting any tax money.

With scrap metal thrown in a dumpster or placed at the curbside many dangers can come out from irresponsible recycling of these materials. 

Items containing refrigerant tend to have their copper lines cut out during the late night hours releasing the harmful refrigerant gases into our atmosphere when placed at the curbside. Even after a irresponsible scrapper picks these items up they do the same, just to bring it into the recycling yard as recycling yards are not allowed to accept items containing refrigerant unless they have a CFC certificate for proof of proper disposal of the refrigerant or provide those services for you.

Other items for examples are items containing chemical fluids like oil or gas from lawnmowers, snowblowers and other items like this are not always loaded properly and these chemical fluids pour out on the grass or curbside now becoming harmful to wild life and our environment. 

There is one more example i would like to share that 99.9 % of scrappers and the general public does not know about certain items that may be thought of being a recyclable item that people throw out either to the curbside in some boxes or by a junk removal company. Items containing uranium. Sounds crazy and like you wouldn't have access to that type of highly radioactive material.

Uranium is found is aircraft gauges and old antique electronics and watches. Yes you could have these such items in your collection of old goodies or just throwing out your old junk. These items contain a glow in the dark paint that is made from uranium and is highly radioactive. They stopped and phased out the use of radium paint in 1968. 

These are just some of the dangers of irresponsible recycling please help our children's future out by recycling safely and properly. We need education, resources and scrappers to be regulated and directed to opening an actual business and properly operating in order to gain and solution on the dangers of curbside recycling and disposal!
