New scrap laws.

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.

I friggin hope not.I've got an old 1930's copper back boiler that's to come out when the wood burner goes in.
Was hoping to recoup some of the money spent on the woodburner by selling the very heavy backburner to scrap.

the new scrap laws i think refer to scrap metal dealers found this article from 13 th october

Scrap metal dealer fears new laws will ruin trade (From Darlington and Stockton Times)

it relates metal collectors not being allowed to buy cars for cash. i think the law now covers absolutely everyone not just scrap yards re buying scrap all have to pay by cheque or bank transfer.

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?

It would if commemorative nameplates on war memorials were made of gold.

It's only for scrap dealers, one per council. I was talking to the guy that takes my boilers and rads away the other day.
