    Books about recycling business

    These days most of us get our information from many sources other than reading a book. I'm hoping I'm not the only one that still reads a book every now and then. Yesterday I started reading a book called, "Junkyard Planet" by Adam Minter. I'm only three chapters into it, finding it interesting and very up to date (copyright 2013). Adam Minter is a third generation "Scrapper", his grandfather and father ran a scrapyard in Minneapolis. The book goes a long way in helping me understand the "global" facts about all things scrap. Particular like his insight on China, as he has lived their the last ten years.



    Just thought I would pass this on, was wondering has anyone else read this book or any other books on this subject they would like to comment on.
