On November 19, 2015 Georgy Abraham composed a story titled ‘She Was Hot, But Now Cold’ on recycleinme.com with the following information: “Metal Scrap is amid a global famine, with a slowdown in the global economy, scrap metal prices have nose-dived. Material that sold for $220/ton in January now sells for approximately $80. A few years ago, US metal scrap was one of the hot exports to China, where it was melted & manufactured into new products. China’s economy has drastically slowed & industrial activity is down in other areas of the world, there is less demand for raw materials. A metal scrap businessman recently received $112 for a bin full of scrap that, not long ago, would have sell for about $600. If the price drops much more, he might have to pay someone to haul away the material from his business. A couple of years ago, people were stealing all kinds of metal because it was valuable.

Prices for aluminum, copper, nickel and other materials have also slid. The scrap metal industry (and those who buys old cars and such) isn’t going away, but businesses have closed or consolidated. Industry experts say they don’t expect much of an improvement until 2017. David Cauble, VP of Cimco Recycling says it’s a cyclical market and this is a difficult time. You have to manage your money — some have accumulated material while they wait for a price rebound. Cimco has 8 scrap yards; the company has learned to weather the downturns.
