"The Recycler's Library" is now "Recycling For Profit"  

The "The Recycler's Library" has undergone updating and is now published under the title "Recycling For Profit". We are likewise in the process of revising our website to reflect the many changes which have gone into the new manual.

"Recycling For Profit" is the most profitable educational resource for anyone interested in making money - full or part-time - from little-known and almost secret recycling niches. Along with the introduction of new information, resources, and opportunities comes a price increase to $97.00. However, we will be holding the price at current levels until our new website has been completed, which will be no sooner than March 1. This is your last opportunity to lock in the old price - along with access to all future revisions FREE of charge - for a short while longer. Here's the place to go to get your copy NOW: http://recyclebiz.com/online%20order%20form.html

Even if you aren't yet ready to take advantage, be sure and review our newsletter archives and feel free to participate in our discussion forum - they're both FREE!

Nuclear Submarines & Precious Metals 

From Parade Magazine published February 8, 2004, entitled "Dismantling Russia's Navy":

"Russia's navy is going to pieces-literally. Its nuclear-armed Northern Fleet is being stripped of precious metals by criminal gangs, contractors, and naval officers, according to Russian TV. Millions can be made selling the contraband abroad. A nuclear-powered sub, for example, contains a ton of silver, more than 30 kg of gold, and 20kgh of palladium. One sub had two air filters, containing $4000 in palladium, stolen by the officers assigned to guard them."

Editor's note: Let's see, a ton of silver is 2,000 pounds at 14.58 troy ounce per pound, or nearly 30,000 ounces of Ag at approximately $6.50 per ounce. 30kg of gold is 66 pounds, or 962+ troy ounces at $406 is +$390,000! You can do the math with palladium at $239 per ounce.

You can see how the military is one of the largest users of precious metals, and hence why the Department of Defense has developed its own recycling processes to reclaim these metals. Tales abound of old-timers in the recycling business who made fortunes off of military surplus. Such is no longer the case. Although military hardware continues to be one of the primary utilizers of gold, silver, and the platinum-group metals, almost all of it generated as scrap is reclaimed in-house, and it is extremely rare to find any quantity of military-grade scrap being put up for bid at bargain prices.

You can learn more about military uses of the precious metals by perusing the back issues of "The Recycling Entrepreneur" newsletter, available free at: http://recyclebiz.com/the_recycling_entrepreneur_newsletter.html To subscribe, send a blank email to: recyclebiz@getresponse.com
