Cash Trading – Scrap Metal
“From 3 December 2012, changes to the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 1964 made it illegal to buy scrap metal for cash in England and Wales, and that remains in force under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013.
If you sell metal to a scrap metal dealer, do not expect to be paid in cash; if the dealer does he will be breaking the law. ” – www.recyclemetals.org
