    I don't know what the 'take' (concept) on this is now.
    For some reason that's got absolutely nothing to do with us. 'They'' decide that the only way we are going to move Ferrous is for us to actually GIVE it to them.
    Whereas, last year they were PAYING US to collect, sort, clean, transport and deliver it, along with our time and hard expenses.
    And it WAS worth it, just. Even if it was a byproduct of what else we were doing.

    Its as if someones shifted 1/2 of a car into reverse ...



    In reality, we should be going to Scrapyard's and have them fill up our vehicles with scrap for nothing. (Some would probably do this...but)

    So, has the finished metal products shown this new development?
    Is finished steel only worth 25% of what it was 18 months ago?
    Are things cheaper?
    What's happened to the export $ that were being earnt?
    Should we just find a 100 acre spot that's not being used a make a huge pile of scrap until we do start to get paid for it again.??

    Every ton given away equals a ton loss, never to be made up for, and another ton or two between the chance to get paid for it, and actually getting paid for it.
