Buffalo City Scrap Metal Prices
Founded in 2000 Buffalo City is a municipality in the Eastern Cape Province. It contains the towns of Bhisho, East London and King William’s Town as well as other townships. Buffalo City has a thriving economy centered on its tourism and manufacturing. This type of economy leads to a healthy scrap metal industry in the local area. We have worked with many people in South Africa that are looking to make selling scrap metal a way of making extra cash. While often their intentions are good they go about it the wrong way. The two things that most people are interested in are how to find good scrap and where to sell their scrap metal. These are hugely important and we will discuss both but the most important thing to understand is the laws that control the buying and selling scrap metal in South Africa and the local area. Before you do anything make sure that you have ID to take to the scrap yard. ID is almost always need to sell any scrap metal in South Africa. To stop scrap metal theft the laws changed so that a receipt is needed to sell significant amounts of metal. This can be difficult to interpret. We recommend going to your local scrap yards and speaking to the scrap dealers about what information you will need to provide to be sure. This will also help you build a relationship with your local scrap dealer which is great for getting insider local knowledge.
Now that you understand the laws it’s time to start thinking about how you want to source scrap metal to sell. There are many ways to do this and we recommend using a few different methods. We will go through a few now to help you get started but do not feel limited to these. The first thing to do is look around you own home and ask your neighbors if they have anything metal they no longer want and need taken away. So many people hold on to thing because they cannot remove them and they will be happy for you to do it. Next, if you have access to a large vehicle, you can offer free household appliance removal. Again these can be difficult to get rid of but can be scrapped for a decent amount of money. Lastly, involves a little more investment but can be hugely profitable. This method involves buying gold jewelry for less than it scrap value. Be careful that you are sure it is real but defiantly consider this method.
