ORLANDO (Scrap Monster): The Palm Beach Solid Waste Authority has announced a variety of programmes to celebrate the ‘America Recycles Day’. The special events on the occasion include allowing residents to watch the garbage getting recycled into energy, allowing for safe disposal of personal documents and providing an opportunity to drop off household hazardous waste for safe recycling. The celebrations are scheduled to be held from 9 AM to 1 PM on Saturday, Nov 14th at the SWA Education Center, 6751 N. Jog Road in West Palm Beach.

The residents will have an opportunity to sort recyclables on the interactive touch table line in the LEED Platinum designed Education Center. In addition, they will be invited to sort recyclables, see the 9-ton claw feed trash into the machine in Renewable Energy Facility 2 and get an idea about how much garbage, County residents throw away.

As part of the event, participants are also allowed to shred up to 6 boxes of personal documents for free. The first 200 cars will receive recycling goodie bags. In addition, the Solid Waste Authority will be handing out blue and yellow recycling bins to those county residents who need them. Participants can also drop off a non-perishable food item to be donated to a local food pantry.

SWA’s Home Chemical and Recycling Center, 6161 N. Jog Road will collect household hazardous wastes from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. The allowed items include old automotive fluids, cleaning products, electronics, fluorescent light bulbs, paints, pesticides, pool chemicals, propane cylinders, rechargeable batteries, solvents and used cooking oil.

America Recycles Day, a program of Keep America Beautiful, is a nationally-recognized day dedicated to promoting and celebrating recycling in the United States.

Copper cathode inventories drop 16,600 mt, likely to remain low in the short term

According to SMM statistics, as of July 16, social inventories of copper cathode in major Chinese regions fell to 123,400 mt, down by 16,600 mt from July 13. The recent destocking was mainly due to unplanned maintenance at some smelters, reduced domestic arrivals, and the diversion of overseas supply to the US market, while imported copper remained limited. In the secondary copper market, substitution of copper cathode was weak owing to compliance reviews on invoices. Although demand entered the traditional off-season, with downstream users making just-in-time procurement, the larger contraction in supply is expected to keep inventories low in the short term. Notably, the ratio of cancelled warrants in LME copper inventories has continued to rise recently, and some of the cancelled material has been arranged for shipment to China, indicating that low domestic inventories and tight spot supply are gradually attracting overseas material back. While demand is in the off-season and downstream users are making just-in-time procurement, the supply contraction has been more significant, and inventories are expected to remain low in the short term.
