The latest scrap metal legislation in the UK
In 2013, the new Scrap Metal Dealers Act came into force to provide better protection for consumers. As of 2013, all scrap metal dealers were forced to apply for a metal dealer’s license from their respective local authorities. In addition, it has been illegal since 2013 for scrap metal recyclers to pay for scrap in cash, with only electronic payments and cheques permitted today.
