If you have unnecessary metal things that can no longer fulfill their direct purposes, as well as unnecessary paper products (newspapers, notebooks), do not rush to throw it in the trash. For the environment and for your own pocket, it would be wiser to hand it all over to the collection points for scrap metal and waste paper.
The Vtormetall.biz website has a list of metal receiving points in different cities. Go to the page http://vtormetall.biz/punkty-priema, find your locality in the proposed list and then select the most suitable reception point for you.
Scrap metal can be delivered to the collection point on your own, but if this is difficult, try calling the reception center of your choice. Usually, in this case, the organization will send its representative to the address you specified, which will determine the quality of the raw material, its volume and tell you the approximate price. Keep in mind: black scrap is cheaper than non-ferrous scrap. If you agree with the price, the recyclables will be loaded onto the car and delivered to the collection point, and you will receive the agreed payment. True, it will be lower than the one you would receive by delivering scrap metal yourself.
If you intend to take the scrap metal regularly and in very large quantities, the choice of the host organization should be approached more responsibly. It is not superfluous to compare the rates (but it is better not to trust incredibly high prices), find out if the license for the procurement, storage, processing and sale of scrap, whether environmental requirements are complied with. Check if there is a special reception area and equipment for scrap removal. It would be nice to get positive reviews about the selected company.
Sometimes reception centers also provide other services: they dismantle metal structures or cut large metal objects.
You can also find out about waste paper collection points on a special website:
Do not forget that paper is of different quality, this affects its price. Also, in addition to volume, its humidity and even the presence of garbage in the provided recyclables matter. It is better to get rid of garbage, dry the paper and sort it by quality. Otherwise, you will receive all the paper at one, the lowest, price.
Do not accept: paper napkins, toilet paper, paper disposable tableware, waxed, laminated, self-adhesive, self-copying paper, paper with metallization or watermarks. Dirty or oily paper, of course, will not be accepted either.
By calling the reception points by phone, you can always find out the cost of admission and delivery conditions.
