About the Scrap Industry
According to Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries Inc (ISRI), Scrap recycling is an $87 billion industry in the United States that annually transforms more than 130 million metric tons of scrap metal, paper, plastics, glass, electronics, textiles, and rubber from commercials, residences, and industrial sources into useful raw materials that are essential to the manufacture of new products. Last year, the U.S. scrap industry processed 77 million metric tons of ferrous scrap, valued at $26.3 billion, the most recycled material in the U.S. and worldwide. (more…)

Relics from mine yard stolen
Tom Malloy, reclamation manager for Butte-Silver Bow, shows where thieves arduously torched off part of an electric hoist motor at the Mountain Con Mine. After years of pillaging, many of the city’s historic mine yards are in shambles.
Thieves’ loot historic Mountain Con Mine and sell artifacts for scrap
Thieves are pilfering irreplaceable relics out of Butte mine yards to sell for pennies. “It’s like going to the Gettysburg battlefield and stealing a cannon for scrap metal,” said Tom Malloy, reclamation manager for Butte-Silver Bow. “These are historical artifacts that can’t be replaced at any cost,” he said.
As Malloy strolled through the Mountain Con engine room on the Butte Hill last Wednesday, he pointed out all the missing parts. Copper wiring has been pillaged and various machines ravaged for parts to sell to salvage yards. Thieves take copper wire, steel and brass machine parts — things like switches and rods. The metal likely ends up in scrapyards, sold for a few dollars a pound at most.
Crews are working to restore the exterior of the Mountain Con and hope to increase the security at the same time. C. Davies Enterprises was on hand Wednesday repainting and restoring large window screens as part of the ongoing project.

The manufacturing industry has provided the scrap recycling industry with a wide range of attachments to meet a variety of handling needs. Grapples come in all shapes and sizes to lift scrap metal and tires; magnets move ferrous scrap; buckets move finer scrap particles; mobile shears cut metal and tire scrap; and crushers pulverize scrap concrete block. And through simple hydraulic controls on the scrap handler, attachments can be opened and close.
