    Greetings from the Philippines

    Nice to meet all of you. I am new to the business and am residing here in the Philippines. Hope to get to learn more of the ropes as I go along. I am currently recycling factory waste Pet plastics, cardboard boxes papers etc but am slowly moving onto scrapping precious metals from old appliances. Hope to meet some people from this board who can guide me as I progress.

    Greetings from NJ USA!!! As I always say, this is the BEST site on the web for scrapping news and information. Centuries of combined experience. How is the economy and prices of scrap metal over in the Philippines?

    Thank you for the warm greeting :-)

    Still need to find out prices and where to sell my junk metals. As of now this is still virgin territory in the country and for myself. There are only a handful of largescale scrappers in operation. Most are like myself dealing in recyclable waste like Plastic bottles and cardboard. I am here to learn as I have a good source of scrap from my food manufacturing plant and my clients (lots of cardboard paper and plastic). I have some old industrial equipment that I want to learn the scrap value for, as well as proper dismantling. I also want to learn how to properly scrap junk value vehicles as there are a lot of those in my country.

    Welcome to the forum. Was in PI in the 80's in Subic Bay and Angles City.

    Do more reading in the copper and wire end of recycling for the premium price per pound or kilo. Just keep reading the old threads. Keep in mind that prices change so in the old threads prices will be different than they are now Good luck, Mike

    Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked
