I truly hope society will realize soon enough that this line of work needs to be made accessible to as many people as possible, I understand the need of some regulation to avoid ecological disasters like chemicals seeping into the water supply or nasty chemical fires, still, scrapping is one of the most eco friendly jobs I can think of, more so when the items are destined to the landfill, so I truly hope governments will realize that this is capitalism at its finest, people finding way to make money out of recycling.
