Scrap Metal Directory Available

The 2002 North American Scrap Metals Directory is now available. The annual directory includes listing information on all the companies in the United States and Canada handling both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The directory includes more than 8,500 companies.

The annual directory, produced by the Recycling Today Media Group, is extensively researched, and provides detailed information on companies, including address, phone and fax number, e-mail and web site address, type of material handled, contact name, type of business, and rail siding serviced by the company.

The annual directory is the only publication available that provides the independent scrap metal recycling industry with the contact information needed to stay competitive in the dynamic recycling industry.

"This directory gathers the contact information for thousands of scrap metal dealers in North America into one handy volume. In an industry that increasingly requires buyers and sellers to look beyond their accustomed geographic range, I can't imagine trying to do business without it," says Brian Taylor, editor of the Recycling Today Media Group.

The cost of the directory is only $85, plus $5 for shipping and handling. Discounts are available for multiple orders. For international orders include $10 for shipping and handling.

For those people interested in integrating the directory information into their own company database the North American Scrap Metals Directory is available in CD-Rom format. The cost is $385, plus $5 shipping and handling.
