Manguang is a municipality in the Free State province of South Africa. Manguang is home to the city of Bloemfontein and other smaller townships. Its economy is largely driven by the political and retail sector. There has been much development in Manguang over the past few decades and like the rest of South Africa it is a great place to start buying and selling scrap as either a side business or full time career. If you are new to selling scrap metal then we will guide you into the industry giving you the information that you need to be successful. We have worked with hundreds of people of the years and we find that they often overlook the most important first step and try to jump straight to sourcing material and finding scrap yards. Before either of those things it is important to know the laws that control how scrap metal is brought and sold in South Africa and more specifically in Manguang. Everywhere has its own customs but there are some laws that apply to the whole country. In most cases you will need to take ID before you can sell scrap in South Africa and a record will be kept by the scrap yard for at least 1 year. A more recent law is that a receipt is need to sell large amounts of scrap. Exactly how well this is enforced can vary. The best thing you can do understand what information you will need to provide is take a trip to a couple of local scrap yards and speak to them before doing anything else.
The next key things to consider is what materials to go after, where to find them and where to sell them. Manguang has many great scrap yards and we recommend visiting a few different ones and find the one that suits you and your needs best. Each scrap yard is unique and it can take a few trips to find the right one. What material to look out for depend on how you plan to source it but the one that can be the biggest money maker is copper. It is very common and its price is huge given how available it is. If you have access to scrap copper wire then that is a great way to make some money. Another aspect of being a good scrapper is your methods of sourcing material. A few of our favorite methods are finding scrap metal are by offering a removal service in your local area for large metal household appliances. They can be difficult to remove and people will often be happy if you come and pick them up for them. Another is to buy scrap at less than its scrap price. This can be anything but an obvious option is gold. Below you will find the latest scrap prices in and around Manguang.
