Scrap metal dealers
About this service
Anyone who carries on a business as a scrap metal dealer is required to be registered with their Local Authority.
A scrap metal dealer who has a scrap metal store must register with the Local Authority in whose area the store is situated.
A scrap metal dealer who has no scrap metal store, for example a dealer who buys from a supplier and transports scrap metal directly to his or her customers, must register with the Local Authority in whose area his or her business address is situated. If there is no business address he or she must register with the Local Authority in whose area he or she lives.
