New scrap laws.

[Gray0689]

Anyone know exactly what the new laws are regarding scrap. Im hearing that we wont be able to weigh in at all after next week.

In all honesty it won't stop any thieving as there always someone who will take it if it's worth money

Im aware of the no cash thing and we are already set up with the scrappy but just heard that it was changing again so nobody can weigh in unless you got one of the new council licenses.

Bet that costs a few quid to get then, have to spend money to get licence to then be able to sell it for scrap.

I wonder if selling my gold will have the same laws attached?

About £700 ive heard. And that is per council so the tatters cant just work anywhere. Id say that if anyone is after a transit pickup there will be a lot on the market very soon.

Is this the waste carriers license? It's about 150 for three years, I think. If you do a search there's been a couple of threads on this.

So how does this work?
Let's say your doing a job in Nottingham and have always take your scrap back to your local scrap dealer, so in my hypothetical case, Coventry.
Do you have to keep records of where the scrap came from and are you allowed to take scrap from one borough or Council and sell to another scrap dealer in another borough or Council.Or would that require separate licences to do so?

I took a load this week, all be it same county, and on the new paperwork they issue is a space for the waste carriers license number. But I think the waste carriers license is individual specific.

Its not the waste carriers license its something totally new. From what i have heard we wont be able to take scrap in at all. I will look further into this and see what i can find out.

Can't find anything online.There's one or two "new scrap metal laws" for the 1st October, and 1st December online for various councils, but just received 404 errors from respective webpages.

They didn't say anything when I was there. With the last lot of changes they had big posters up and the lads were telling everybody about it as well.
