Do you think the Government should reopen the scrap metal trade?

No, because we taxpayers are going to feel it when they start to steal from our service companies.

Government cannot reopen the scrap metal trade, because we would have to move from Jamaica.

Yes, but they need to put in place proper regulations before it is reopened. For example, Government should control the processing, and not the individual dealers.

No! If they've already begun to steal valuable equipment and it's not reopened, then they shouldn't.

If they implement proper regulations to govern the trade, so that theft can be kept to a minimal.

No! This will become a burden to society, as it only brings forth more THIEVES! It will do more harm than good to Jamaica.

The trade is one that encourages criminality, given that there isn't enough metal to go around to ensure the longevity of the trade.
