Are there any rules/regulations/permits required by a private individual to weigh in scrap metal? My son has been told you need a Licence, but surely this is for Traders not Joe Public? Any comments much appreciated :y
-
Never had a problem round here but they do note down your registration number and ask for ID if its anything really valuable
-
Never a problem, contact details with I.D, license my arse ::) ::)
I think paying out in cash stops next month for the legit scrappers :y
-
I heard that the government is bringing a licence system out to help combat the crime in stolen metals
-
In terms of collecting it yourself door to door you would probably need a waste transfer type licence but taking your own stuff just photo ID
-
Thanks lads, it's only bits of my old heating system pipework, dud car battery etc. I thought he was being a bit melodramatic about the licence ;D :y
-
Have wondered about this as well , seems to be more and more tipper trucks trolling the streets for metal more than ever now ::) one is a pikey and 3 others are independent private ones ... must be a fair bit of money in scrap metal .

Depends on the yard.
The new legislation requires proof of identitiy and address plus the payemnt is sent to the address.
Quite a few yards are going along the lines of not dealing with anybody not registered on thier books.

Just photo ID round our way

There was a report on south today, that some scrapers had the police round checking all sorts due to thefts. My local scrapy being one of them.
...this was a report in the south of he country by the way, as it was on SOUTH today, so obviously that only affects south of Brackley. ;)

Scrap metal is a good price at the miniute more and more ladds are jumping on to it
And its all cash
funny how the inland revenue have not shown an interest in it.
-
All you need is a driving licence with photo I.D. I've been in quite a few times with scrap parts & old batteries etc.
-
Many thanks for all the answers guys, i've passed on your comments :y

I drove all the way to Salford with a load of cats only to be told that without ID they couldn't take them. Wouldn't mind but i've been on there books for about 2 years ::)
