Who did the 12 billion scrap go to?

The earthquake, which injured millions of people, opened a new income door. It has been estimated that the valuable waste such as iron, plastic, plastic, cable, copper and paper from the buildings destroyed by the earthquake will reach 12 billion TL in total. It is stated that shovels, bulldozers and trucks assigned by public institutions, municipalities and private companies with a free donation modality are used to remove almost all the rubble and move it to the vacant area. Pointing out that the valuable debris from the rubble was collected as quickly as if it were smuggled without publicly revealing to whom it was delivered, experts said that with the money obtained from the scrapping, at least 15,000 homes could be built and delivered. to the victims of the earthquake, but that money may have gone into someone’s pocket. According to calculations made by the United Nations (UN), between 116 and 210 million tons of debris occurred in the earthquake zone.

1.5 MILLION TONS OF WASTE

Calculations made assuming that approximately 150 million tons of debris will emerge from collapsed buildings on average, and 1 percent of this will be scrap metal and recycling materials, indicate that there are at least 1.5 million tons of valuable debris in the debris. The average value of kilograms of this debris has been calculated to be 8 TL, therefore at least 12 billion TL of valuable debris will be generated from the earthquake rubble. Building demolition work can normally be done free of charge in exchange for scrap metal being removed from the building. However, many free vehicles were sent to the region to quickly remove the rubble after the earthquake. Most of these vehicles were sent by public institutions and municipalities throughout the country. The companies also allocated thousands of vehicles for free. Therefore, it is established that the money obtained from the valuable waste must remain with the public to be used for the victims of the earthquake.

15 thousand houses are built

According to the calculations made by the experts, if the valuable debris that will come out of the rubble is collected and sold to the public in one place, about 15 thousand new houses can be built and delivered to the earthquake victims with about 12 billion lira. . to be obtained However, it is not known whether valuable waste is stored by the public or given to contractors. It is claimed that the cost of debris removal is only 1 percent of the value of the debris to be removed from the wreckage, and that even the debris cables alone can cover the cost.
