Police Arrest Two In Scrap Metal Theft Near Mattawan

Two Van Buren County men have been arrested after police caught them trying to steal scrap metal near Mattawan, Mich., early Thursday.
The pair were spotted about 3:15 a.m. at a business in the 23000 block of French Road, the Sheriff’s Department said in a press release.
Police say the two were loading the scrap metal into the back of an old Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck. They were able to load up a few metal rims and a large piece of steel before they were spotted.
The men were arrested and taken to jail after the owner told police he didn’t know them or permit them to take the scrap.
Neither of the men, both in their 20s, have been identified pending arraignment.

Scrap copper recycle Value

For thousands of years, copper and copper alloys have been recycled.

This has been a normal economic practice, even if regretted by some.

One of the wonders of the old world, the Colossus of Rhodes, a statue spanning the entrance to Rhodes Harbour, was said to have been made of copper.

No trace of it remains since it was recycled to make useful artefacts.

In the Middle Ages it was common that after a war the bronze cannons were melted down to make more useful items.

In times of war even church bells were used to produce cannon.

The entire economy of the copper and copper alloy industry is dependent on the economic recycling of any surplus products.

There is a wide range of copper based materials made for a large variety of applications.

To use the most suitable and cheapest feedstock for making components gives the most economic cost price for the material.
