Practical guides on collecting, coding, transporting and recycling industrial waste — written by the team that does it every day at the Cristur yard.
Got scrap metal piling up in the yard or the garage? Here's where to take it in the Deva–Hunedoara area, what to bring and how not to lose money at the scale.
For an individual, an ID card is usually enough. For a company, things are a little different. Here's what to bring.
Old radiators, a rusty bike, pipes, sheet metal, a broken washing machine — many things you'd throw away can be sold by the kilo.
One can weighs very little, but a full bag adds up quickly. Here's when it's worth it and how to prepare them.
A magnet and a bit of attention to colour can get you more money for your scrap. Here's how to recognise each metal.
Records kept monthly, by waste code, turn the annual report into a formality. Records rebuilt from invoices in March turn it into a problem.
A litre of used oil can contaminate thousands of litres of water. For a company, it can also contaminate the environmental file if it isn't stored and handed over correctly.
“What do you pay for copper?” has at least five correct answers. The difference between them comes down to sorting, not haggling.
A used battery is almost entirely recyclable — provided it reaches a licensed collector intact, with the electrolyte still inside.
A container of mixed rubble costs money. The same volume, split into metal, wood and concrete, can cost far less — or even bring money in.
A phone call, a container size and a pickup window — but a few decisions in between directly shape the final cost.
A weighbridge slip proves a handover happened. A recovery or destruction certificate proves what happened to the material afterwards — and a lot of companies need exactly that.
A magnet and a few seconds are enough to tell whether a metal is ferrous or non-ferrous — but the difference changes your price and how it gets collected.
Scrap metal isn't waste — it's raw material with a market price. Here's why companies clear out dead stock and individuals part with old appliances, and both come out ahead.
Proper disposal of IT equipment and electronics is not just an environmental choice—it's a legal obligation. Here is how to handle WEEE correctly.
Not all plastics are the same. Discover how sorting industrial plastic waste at the source increases its recycling value and lowers your disposal costs.
Putting a product in a box makes you a packaging producer in the legal sense. The obligation to recycle follows the packaging, not the customer.
Aluminium is infinitely recyclable and recovered at a fraction of the energy primary smelting needs. But the grade you hand over decides how close to the London quotation you get paid.
Price per tonne is the last criterion that matters. Before it come the permit, the accepted codes, and the paperwork you get on every pickup.
Six digits and an asterisk decide which paperwork you need, who may collect your material, and how you report at year end.
The price per tonne is not an arbitrary number. It is the metal quotation, the sorting quality, the contamination deducted at intake, and the cost of the run.
An end-of-life cable is a composite material. Its real value only appears once the conductor is mechanically separated from the insulation.
Most industrial companies generate hazardous waste without calling it that. An honest inventory is the first obligation, and the cheapest one.
We'll come back with something concrete: which containers you need, how often we collect, and what documents you receive.
