Hundreds of US cities are killing or scaling back their recycling programs  - RK Scrap Buyers Chennai For plenty of Americans, recycling is practically second nature. It’s mandated by law in cities such as New York, San Diego, Pittsburgh, and Seattle, where apartment buildings, office spaces, and restaurants must recycle plastics, cans, cardboard, and glass, unless their owners want to face a fine.

Councillor looks to put tighter restrictions on buying scrap metal - RK Scrap Buyers Chennai With the theft of copper wire continuing to be a concern, the municipality may look at ways to try to make it harder to buy and sell stolen metals.

The world’s cheapest place to scrap ships - RK Scrap Buyers Chennai Mohamed Edris’s life as he knew it in the Bangladeshi ship recycling yards ended at 11.30am on Saturday 11 April 2015. The 38-year-old metal cutter had been working with 100 others on the 19,600-tonne container ship Eurus London at the Ferdous Steel Corporation shipyard in Chittagong when catastrophe struck. His task had been to cut away the huge 40-tonne propeller with a blow torch. Alarm bells rang, he said, when he saw that a large metal platform had been placed below the propeller to stop it falling into the mud on the beach. “I told the supervisor and two others that it was dangerous because it could bounce back when the propeller fell. I told them I could not do it, but they insisted that I did,” he said. He obeyed and nearly died. The propeller broke free, hit the metal plate and sprung back as he predicted. It sliced off his left leg below the knee, blinded him in one eye and nearly broke his ba...

General Iron misleading - RK Bulk Scrap Buyers It is disappointing that a Tribune editorial relied on cherry-picked and conflated information to criticize the operations and intentions of General Iron Industries, a metal recycling business on the city’s North Side. Instead of acknowledging the tangible steps that this 110-year-old Chicago company is taking to transition to a less densely populated location, the Tribune insinuates nefarious motives and conniving tactics to the routine and impartial process of issuing city permits. The facts are straightforward: A new company that will divest the Labkon family of its four-generation control of General Iron properly obtained new permits for the standard three-year term established by the city.  http://bulkscrapbuyerschennai.in/  The new company did not request an extension and is not considering operating on the North Side beyond 2020. The Tribune apparently would have preferred that the Chicago Departme...
