The province of Northern Cape is the largest and least densely populated of all the provinces in South Africa. There is still plenty of opportunity for buying and selling scrap metal in Northern Cape. The first thing to consider when starting in the scrap metal industry are the laws that control the buying and selling scrap metal in South Africa and the local rules and customs. While it depends on the value of your metal ID and a receipt is often needed to sell scrap metal in South Africa. To get most relevant info on laws in Northern Cape I recommend that you visit a scrap yard and ask about the laws that you will need follow so that you do not get in trouble. Speaking of scrap yards, there are many great scrap yards in Northern Cape but make sure to visit as many as possible to find the best one for you. Each will have a particular area that they specialize in. The staff are the best people to speak to for inside local information since they have the most experience in the scrap metal industry in your area. They will have some great tips for find good quality scrap metal as well as their price per kilo for each metal. If you don't already have a steady stream of scrap metal you will need to find a method to acquire it. We recommend taking anything available at first to get a good idea of what is available in your area. However, you will want to pay special attention to high value metals such as scrap copper, scrap aluminium and scrap gold. The price per kilo of aluminium isn't as high as scrap copper but it is much more readily available. It can be found in cars, consumer goods and cans. Wiring is the best place to search for scrap copper and it will get a high price. Making money from scrap gold will take some knowledge. If you are able to identify the quality you will be able buy it some less then scrap price and sell for a small profit. Whenever looking for scrap make sure that you have the correct permissions to take it, even ask for a receipt. For the most up to date scrap prices per kilo in Northern Cape look below.
