We are having a problem adding new locations to our map. Please be patient while we get it fixed. I am adding E-waste drop off sites and also places that buy cardboard.

Metals Prices and E-waste Video

by Bradley Voight on 06/21/12

Slowdowns in the U.S. and in emerging market economies such as China have been a drag on metals prices. Just like when stocks get cheap and fall out of favor, so do metals. Scrappers slack off when metals prices drop. I do not. I continue to accumulate and hold for a better selling price, just like a long stock position.

I have posted a new video by the Australian version of Dateline. It is about electronic waste from America and other developed nations. The video is a real eye opener, especially the part where the people start pouring through the data left on thousands of hard drives that end up in the third world. Perhaps the identity theft threat will bring attention to the e-waste disposal issue and help stop the environmental disaster unfolding in third world nations.

New Visitors

by Bradley Voight on 06/14/12

Smalltimerecycling.com is a work in progress. Our goal is to open a scrap yard that accepts the items listed on our materials page. Until we open for business Small Time is currently, and will continue to be, central Indiana's recycling information resource center. The materials list is not final, but it gives you a rough idea of the kinds of items we wish to buy. Even though copper is not on our list, we still post copper prices because we know that copper is king in the scrapping world. We also know that copper is often stolen, so we do not want to deal with it.

We are working hard to pool together pertinent information for people who are new to scrapping and recycling. We understand that recycling small amounts won't make you rich, but we do want you to get the maximum amount of cash for your effort and we will present information to you that helps you achieve that. Small Time also wants you to know that contrary to popular belief, very few people are really going green. We don't want you to go green, we want you to be green. We think that you will be pleasantly surprised at how much extra cash you can get by recycling and once you make your fist sale you will want to do it over and over again.

There is really nothing I can add to the following article from Kitco news other than to say to my readers how valuable Kitco is as a all-in-one stop for world metals and mining information and commentary.
