impact on my neighborhood economy is severe. i don't know how much is the chinese decision and how much other factors. but we used to have people who regularly stopped by to pick up bulk cardboard and scrap metal. apparently cardboard isn't worth anything at all anymore and we have to manage the impact on our waste stream. and because the price of steel has fallen to $0.03/lb, and id requirements have been toughened up to discourage theft, we can't even get the homeless meth addicts to haul away steel anymore.
