There are a few things worth keeping in mind when visiting scrap metal merchants and scrap yards. Firstly, cash payment is now forbidden under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act. You’ll need to be willing to receive payment via electronic transfer or cheque. Secondly, we will need to see valid forms of identification. Both these measures look to crack down on illegal activity, which has in the past plagued the industry due to stolen wire, catalytic converters and similar items being offloaded at unwitting scrap metal merchants.
This is also the reason why it’s important to choose reputable and licenced scrap metal merchants; beware cowboys, and instead use a licenced and well-known industry veteran like Crow Metals, with scrap yards just a short drive from Hutton in Romford and Dagenham.
