Some recycling businesses in and around Ottawa are looking to diversify as the
price of scrap steel is at an all-time low. Scrap steel was worth up to $270 per
metric ton a few years ago but is now sitting at $90, with some recyclers saying
they've stopped relying on it for a profit. Foxy Recyle handles e-waste, such as
copper, aluminum and gold found in old computers. (Stu Mills/CBC) "We've kept it

Griesseier, the manager at AIM Metal Recycling. via
