Suppliers of Copper wire scrap in Tanzania.
Tanzania is one of the major suppliers of copper wire scrap in Africa. With the collection dominated by children most of whom are school drop outs. It is a business that has been dominated by the Muslim community. They sit in their scrap yards in Dar Es Salaam waiting for people laden with sacks of tins and bits of car engines, and adults with handfuls of jagged objects, unidentifiable beneath the rust.
Some push handcarts as scrapyard attendants take turns to weigh the metal brought in, then hand over a few dirty Shilling notes in return. They receive more than 10 tons of scrap metal per day with the most expensive being copper wire scrap. In Tanzania, a kilogram of copper wire scrap sells for just TSH11,000. The price is also highly dependent on the quantity.
These suppliers do not sell online and sometimes most are without license. They simply buy from the local population and sell to Chinese businessmen who export out of the country.
