Is it possible to get indexed here as associated information? We dispose of scrap metal within the UK - Our service is free for end of life vehicles and we operate on a donation system nationally. http://www.scrapcar.co.uk - Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.43.88.104 (talk • contribs)

It's kind of commercial anyway, so I don't think so. The closest you can get would be if you found a bunch of others using that same concept and someone not involved wrote an article about it... G®iffen (talk) 21:21, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

AQSIQ Registration of Overseas Supplier of Exported Scrap Materials

Implementation Details of the Registration Scheme Concerning Overseas Suppliers of Waste Material Imports, promulgated and implemented by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ), make it mandatory for foreign enterprises, including those in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, which export waste material to the mainland to apply for registration with AQSIQ. Those which fail to obtain registration will not be allowed to export waste material to China, nor will their requests for inspection and quarantine be accepted by the departments concerned. This new rule is believed to ensure that imported wastes will comply with the environmental protection standards as well as other mandatory requirements and technical regulations of the state.

2. Applicant enterprise needs to submit all following 17 kinds of paper documents: Note: All documents must be in Chinese or in Chinese/Foreign Language bilingual version. The official seal and legal owner's signature of the applicant enterprise must be born on every document. Photocopies are invalid.

If you need more information or have any quesiton about AQSIQ registration ,renewal,adding new categories,changing related informtion ,please contact me at fairystory1854atHOTMAIL. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.148.116.66 (talk) 08:53, 16 March 2009 (UTC) ]

Commercial links in violation of WP:DIRECTORY

The ODP link in the external links section is sufficient for readers to find commercial websites. Including an ever expanding list in the article attracts endless spam links and does not meet the guidance of WP:DIRECTORY. I have removed this links and copied them here as a record if anyone wishes to argue a case that any particular site does meet WP:EL for some reason I am unaware of.

Is there any better picture than the one for the scrap cans? It's horrible! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.169.14.7 (talk) 23:10, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Etymology

I removed the unsourced and almost certainly incorrect "Etymology" section which claimed that the word "scrap" was a 19th-century contraction of "it's crap". The online etymology dictionary at etymonline.com indicates that scrap originates from 14th century skrapa meaning "small pieces". Also, Swedish skräp means trash, backing up this idea. However, a reputable source needs to be found and cited, if there's going to be an Etymology section. 98.28.19.62 (talk) 03:34, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

I think so, too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Simba541chui (talk • contribs) 17:01, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

Globalize

The article describes American (USA) practice, yet the subject matter is clearly not specific to the USA. Any industrialized country has a scrap industry. Sangwine (talk) 22:13, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Advertisement

"In the United States, old railway locomotives are recycled by companies such as Monroe Metal Recovery in Ohio. Find them on Facebook."

I think this is advertisement. 80.98.146.68 (talk) 07:18, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Redirect

"One man's trash is another man's treasure" (as in the idiom) redirects here, which doesn't seem appropriate. Can something be done? (ex. New page for the idiom, redirects to the correct page, etc.) Thanks! Qq4444bc (talk) 20:23, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

It sort of doesn't matter since "No pages link to One man's trash is another man's treasure". Yet, anyway. I realize the idiom refers to many forms of used or worn out items, but the "scrap" discussed in this article applies to a very high percentage of it, I think. Huw Powell (talk) 23:24, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Rename or expand

Article only seems to discuss Scrap metal. Should we rename the article to [Scrap metal] or add a Non-metallic scrap section ? - Rod57 (talk) 08:06, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

More coverage of nonmetallic scrap is definitely needed. I rewrote the lede to at least mention its existence and am trying to clean up the rest of the article, but more help is needed with this. Reify-tech (talk) 17:26, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

Merge from Ferrous metal recycling

The articles have a lot of natural overlap, and together are unlikely to grow too large. Reify-tech (talk) 18:32, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

Dr. Bitros's comment on this article

Dr. Bitros has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:

It lacks all theory, empirical evidence and implications in fields like real business cycles, investment, technical change etc.

We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.

Dr. Bitros has published scholarly research which seems to be relevant to this Wikipedia article:

Two issues

• How big an industry is this worldwide? Sales? Tonnage?
• When did scrap become a big business? Certainly by the 1930s, but about when?

One picture reference is not accurate.

Hello,
