    I don't see it ending (scrapping) but, I do see it leveling out due to the large number of people/businesses recycling now.

    We will always need certain things like steel, aluminum and copper, etc. Where we might start seeing being able to make more money in the long run is with some plastics that currently aren't being recycled/re-utilized.



    As for your last 3 thoughts, those are already in place - the laws/rules of free scrapping or scavenging as many cities put it, fuel prices and precious metal's.

    it's about supply and demand and right now everyone has a supply but is our ''demand'' on par with the ''supply?'' I don't think so and thats why prices stay down.

    because many manufactures and people in general are looking for ways to utilize things that won't need recycled in the end of its life.
