Scrap Gold
Scrap Gold is the term used for the process of recycling broken jewellery, coins and other items that are no longer wanted. Recycling gold has become a large industry, driven by the surge in the price of gold and the current global economic climate. Selling gold jewellery has enabled people to liquidate their assets into cash, a more usable currency in modern life.
