By Elizabeth Dimick<\/p>\n
An old adage suggests that if you don’t want
\nsomething, give it to someone who does. Such is the
\ncase with Spa City Recycling (formally Fiegalman’s
\nScrap Yard) at 77 So. Franklin St., Saratoga Springs.<\/p>\n
The business accepts scrap from a wide range of
\nsources, from individual home owners to corporate
\nand industrial businesses.\n<\/p><\/div>\n
Fiegalman’s was established as a scrap yard in the 1900s and went through four generations until James Riccardi and Giorgio Atzeni bought it from Adele Fiegalman and took over the business last year.<\/p>\n
They said metal prices vary quite a bit depending on the market, but metal is always a good market to be in.<\/p>\n
Riccardi, Spa City Recycling president, said he learned about the business of selling metals when he went to work with his father in the metal processing business. Atzeni, vice president, has experience in buying scrap metals.<\/p>\n
Scrap metal recycling has gotten a bad name over the years, due to a problem with theft of metals in attempt to sell for profit. Riccardi and Atzeni said they go to great measures to insure the scrap they buy was legitimately acquired. Measures to avoid stock and lot theft include keeping an off-site storage area with night vision surveillance.<\/p>\n
“We work very closely with the local authorities on theft” Giorgio said.<\/p>\n
