                    [Summary] => Scrap collectors are bracing for hard times


Metro Manila’s cart-pushing scrap steel collectors are bracing for hard times. It is hard enough to push carts. But it is has become even harder to find scrap steel to collect, complained the leader of the largest organization of scrap steel collectors.


Jose Teves, president of the Metro Manila Federation of Environmental Multi-Purpose Cooperatives, said a severe shortage of scrap steel has emerged owing to the aggressive buying by a few big traders in recent months.

Metropolitan Manila Development Authority chairman Benjamin Abalos said sanctions would come in the form of administrative charges against the mayors.


Abalos explained that effective implementation of the new segregation, recycling and composting scheme of the government relies on the political will of the mayors.
