EXCHANGING VALUE FOR NO VALUE

Today morning I met a guy selling under scrap what is in actual sense not scrap. These were bits of Iron bars which were in actual fact not scrap had he taken them to the right buyer, say those who make metal window frames. It is really sad to see one part with value for no value at all. The metal could fetch good price if sold to a right user, or even the actual owner would use them at an opportune time in future. I last learnt about the cost of scrap metal when it was below or about shs 300 a kilogram! I don't know the price now. William Kituuka kiwanuka
