Big Money From Scrap - Recyclers Handbook Big Money From Scrap - Recyclers Handbook on CD The purpose of this Handbook is to outline practical, cost-effective methods for the recovery and recycling of scrap (defined as personal property that has been discarded for use and that appears to have no value except for its basic material content). By providing the best available technical guidance on scrap identification and segregation, scrap yard operations and merchandising of scrap, it is intended that this Handbook will result in worldwide implementation of proven methods to increase the payback from the Scrap Recycling Program. The broad objectives of the Scrap Recycling Program are to: C1.3.1. Ensure that no property with utilization or sales value that exceeds the value of its material content is processed as scrap. C1.3.2. Optimize procedures for cost-effective recovery, recycling, or sales of scrap, including precious metal-bearing materials. C1.3.3. Ensure processing of scrap is in strict compliance with all applicable safety, health regulations and environmental protection guidelines. Thus far the term "scrap" has been used in a general sense. In the scrap recycling industry, the word "scrap" usually applies only to ferrous metal materials (iron or steel), which have no value except for their basic material content. "Metals" is the term the scrap recycling industry uses to describe nonferrous scrap, such as brass, copper, stainless steels, high-temperature alloys, lead, zinc, aluminum, magnesium, manganese, cobalt, chromium, tin, nickel, cadmium, tungsten, titanium, mercury, and the precious metals. Other scrap, such as textiles, paper, plastics, chemicals, used or contaminated petroleum products, used synthetic lubricants, used solvents, rubber, leather, wood, and food residue are referred to as nonmetallic scrap. The term "waste" means used or unused property, residues, by-products, sludges, and other materials that have no known utility and, therefore, must be discarded. Works with Windows, Mac, Unix, Linux and others. We find the search feature especially helpful. Search the entire document for a word, phrase or part of a word.
