The recent public advertisement regarding the planned sale of “various scrap metal” by the Guyana Power and Light Company (GPL) would appear to point in the direction of some measure of success in creating an environment in which some semblance of normalcy can be restored to the local scrap metal trade.
An advertisement appearing in the October 20th Sunday Stabroek provides notice of GPL’s intention to offer to the public various lots on scrap on an “as is, where is” basis. Divided into four categories the scrap comprises: (1) assorted mixed metals, (2) defective meters containing various metals, (3) alternators, empty metal containers and (4) transformers comprising various metals. Viewing will take place at Sophia.
