New scrap laws.

[midlands based]

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.

have a look here information about scrap metal recycling in Britain. seems to be from a quick look about not paying cash for scrap mostly and itinerant scrap collectors (you know what they mean) having to be licenced.

Good scrappy dealers have been doing this for some time now

You must produce photo id, your weighed in metal gets paid for via bank transfer or via your bank card.

Its a good scheme and should lead to fewer metal thefts unless your local pikies have access to a semi friendly local bank account holder to channel their collections through.............

Often ponder taking van load of copper over to france and retuning loaded up with booze, but bone idleness and not knowing the rules in france prevent it getting any further than that.
