The Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) has said it is again advising all metal dealers that continued failure to comply with the requirements to which they have agreed may prompt a re-imposition of the ban on the trade in ferrous scrap metal.
According to a press release from OPM on Monday, all dealers in scrap metal should note that one of the conditions for the reopening of the scrap metal trade was that they ˇ°would maintain their respective scrap metal yards in a tidy manner, properly fenced and blocking view from the main roads.ˇ±
Another condition, the release stated, was that all trucks would be unloaded and all containers packed inside scrap yards and neither trucks nor containers would be on the road or the side of the road.
Meanwhile, OPM said it had noted with great concern that a large number of dealers had not been complying with these conditions.
The release referred to the commitment to work together to bring an end to vandalism, but there were recent reports of the losses of manhole (sewer) covers. And OPM warned scrap metal dealers to err on the side of caution and not purchase items that might have been vandalized.
