one of the reasons there is so much competition in the collection of scrap is all of the folks who are laid off found a way to make a few dollars. many of them use scrapping as extra spending money. they are not trying to live off of what they scrap. one of the reasons the price is going down is so many are collecting scrap that do not care what the price is.
the consumer who used to be your source of scrap has now become your competitor. they no longer generate as much waste, they learned to sell their waste, and now have learned how to collect that waste.
it has all been created by the lack of jobs.
does not matter of you liked old bill and his politics. he was right.
it is all about the jobs.
put those folks back to work at decent jobs and you will have more waste to collect and less competition.
