About Metals Theft
Metals theft is a big problem. As if the theft alone was not a serious problem in and of itself, consider that the repair and replacement costs dwarf the value of the stolen items. The thefts often lead to dangerous results such as electrocution, mass power outages, transportation interruption, and national security threats, putting first responders, utility workers, and citizens at risk.
Its impact on the recycled materials industry is also significant. Recyclers are victims of theft too. ReMA, the trade association for the recycled materials industry, is actively working to help solve the problem of metals theft.
