You don't need ID until 23rd June (legally) I weighed in 4 Omega doors yesterday, no business just gave my address. Weighed in, dumped doors, drove out, re-weighed, collect ticket and money!

Sign up at my local (actually Northamptonshire) says the will require it, but not for another month yet. Still easy, no business required. Just take driving license ID card  :y

Any idea what sort of price I could get for weighing in two Golf doors and my old Omega boot lid?

Thanks  :y

Was £100 a ton for me, 4x Omega doors & they gave me £14, better than nothing.

They were quoting £200 a ton for some stuff, but only quoted me 100 quid  :-\

Never heard of them martin , i got a few bits but not enough to weigh in yet but was just wondering in general if you had to be a trader or not ....pikeys have been round the streets quite a lot just lately with fully loaded vans every day . They must be making £200 a day easy  :o
