Since the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 (England and Wales) and the Air Weapons and Licensing Act 2015 (Scotland) was introduced, all buyers of scrap metal, including mobile collectors, must ask you for photo identification.
For payment, you will also need to bring a proof of address in addition to your photo identification. All forms of proof of address, including utility bills, are valid for three months only from the date they were issued.
Visit our UK Local website for more information on ID requirements and the Scrap Metal Dealers Act.
