The 2003 edition of the North American Scrap Metals Directory, published by the Recycling Today Media Group, Cleveland, is now available.

The book can help recyclers make sure they get the most out of the complex scrap market and is a useful resource to stay in touch with dealers and processors operating in a given region.
