As long as recycling companies are allowed to receive copper from the general public, this crime will continue to be a burden to society.

In the Arden area we all know who they are……..all it takes is the Sac Sheriff to do their job. There out there Sheriff Dept. every night, ripping off copper, stealing recyclable products from the County of Sac’s recycle cans, stalking bikes, all you items you left in your car and lets not forget ‘ lock your garage!
