There is a very interesting article in this weeks American Metal Market's weekly publication about the pressures being put on the smaller, local scrap yards by their neighbors to "move out." The Not In My Back Yard mentality, and local governments growing use of eminent domain is forcing the local scrap yards and auto wreckers out of the neighborhood in favor "silk-pursed developments like offices, shopping malls and parks..."

With the growing globilization of the scrap market, is this really a good idea?
