Thank you for your reply, hills, but it not a frustration thing with me in finding a buyer in Atlanta so much as understanding what is currently going on in the recycling industry concerning electronic scrap. I have been able to draw some good conclusions with the comments from you and others here on the forum.
I do agree with you that a lot of people have quit scrapping in recent years for better income some other way but that is changing also. The other ways of making better income are now under increasing duress with tariffs, government crackdown on waste, inflation and other pressures. You are right about a lot of items being disposable now but people are also getting fed up with that end result. Product quality has gotten too bad overall and people are now expecting better products. The recent increasing hostility toward Chinese products indicates that. I do believe that in the future people will return to scrapping as metal prices continue to increase. No. 1 scrap copper hit $4.06 in my area today. That's a new record. I appreciate your comments again. I'll continue to be the optimist.
