    Sarasota, FL scrapping.....

    I have been in the scrapping industry for over 15 yrs. The first 8 years my focus was on catalytic converters. We were buying over 40,000 cats a month through my shop. Then in August of 2008 that industry was rocked when Rhodium went from $10,000 oz down to $700 oz. My world was turned upside down. I then turned my efforts more toward non-ferrous scrap and over the last couple of years have been evolving more toward Escrap. Just recently found SMF and i am glad to be part of the community. I will try and contribute what I have learned over the years and look forward to gleaning some new knowledge from the other members.
