To prevent stolen or stolen products from being bought in junkyards, the Civil Police Department of Rio de Janeiro has developed the Scrap Online application, which will catalog the products purchased by recycling companies and the like. The list of products includes copper wires stolen along Rio’s railway network, from traffic lights installed in the city and from aluminum gates taken from houses and condominiums. The new tool will be used to register data on sellers and merchandise sold and will include information on volume, weight and values. According to Governor Cláudio Castro, the objective is to close the siege to the receivers and protect the good citizen, who has recycling as a breadwinner. “We are not going to penalize small collectors who are often used by criminals to commit crimes, due to their social vulnerability. We are studying a way to regulate them, giving incentives and benefits”, explained Castro. junkyards will have a period of 90 days to present the necessary documentation to the Delegacia de Robbos e Furtos so that they can enter the system and download the application. After that, the sites will be inspected and monitored regularly by the security forces to verify the material it is being bought by merchants.”We are going to discourage the illegal exercise of the trade”, informed the Secretary of Civil Police, Fernando Albuquerque.
