A project I love to take up doing in my local city (city chennai-country India) along with the proposed aluminium recycling start-up which I have planned some months ago. But getting funded by banks is more difficult than the illusion of dreaming about the idea.
From what I have learned from others is that recovering copper from wire as a side to a much bigger scrap business that can sustain the costs and employees works well.
Those who try to just run a copper recovery operation suffer from a constant need to buy quality wire to keep their
granulators and employees working. Like most other things its a tough business. 73, Mike
