After getting the money from selling these scrap what next?
These slap dealers still burn most of these materials which eventually releases toxins into the environment.
I am sure that most of them are not aware of the harm they are causing to themselves and to others.and that is why they die from different ailments because they are directly in contact with these toxins.

Burn? Why would they burn the metal? No, they don't burn the metal. Rather they would melt it in a recycling plant.

Recycling plant don't burn the metals. They simply crush them into pallet, melt it and remould into another material . The only challenge with recycled material is that they do not have second hand value
