Crimestoppers and security company Netwatch have teamed up to raise awareness around the country about the theft of metal. People are being asked to be vigilant and to call Crimestoppers if they see activity that might be linked to metal theft. Metal theft is a crime that affects a wide range of businesses and community organisations. Reported thefts include beer kegs, copper wires, road signs, jewellery, lead roofs and goal posts. There have also been a number of high profile thefts of precious objects including sculptures and religious relics.

Every farm has waste metal, old farm implements, iron, steel, aluminium, piping, wire fencing, copper, alloys, batteries, end of life vehicles and machinery. When something breaks around the farm it is often held onto in case it might come in useful some day. For too many years that old disc harrow has been sitting around, taking up much wanted space, attracting attention from unsolicited callers, posing a risk to the environment. Why not recycle it and ease cashflow woes. Metal can be recycled easily if it is segregated into ferrous (iron, steel) and non ferrous (aluminium, copper, brass, lead) types.
