Vermilion residents and those in the surrounding areas had an opportunity to cash in on their scrap metals during TC Precious Metals’ two-day Recycling Roadshow, held at the Vermilion Elks Hall on October 2 and 3 for the second time in a year.
Led by Terry Burrill, the company’s buyer, the event welcomed locals from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on both days. Participants were encouraged to bring various precious metal items such as gold and silver earrings, rings, bracelets, broken chains, gold charms, dental gold, sterling silver, flatware, and coins. Burrill also accepted paper money, offering an even wider scope for people looking to liquidate their assets.
One of the key advantages of working with TC Precious Metals is the direct relationship they maintain with a smelter, which cuts out any unnecessary middlemen. “We buy gold and silver from many sources, including other gold buyers, pawn shops, dentists, jewellers, and the public,” Burrill shared.
He also offered interesting insights into the recycling of precious metals, pointing out that nearly half of the world’s gold production comes from recycled sources. He highlighted the difference in energy consumption, noting that mining a new ounce of gold can cost as much as $500 in energy, whereas recycling gold costs just $10 per ounce, showcasing both economic and environmental benefits.
The Recycling Roadshow offered locals an easy way to declutter their homes and potentially turn unwanted items into cash, with no appointments needed. Residents could simply walk in and explore what their scrap metals might be worth.
TC Precious Metals continues to focus on providing accessible opportunities for people to monetize their metal assets. Events like the Recycling Roadshow foster community engagement and help residents discover the financial value of unused or unwanted items.
