Not sure if anyone was recently concerned about the new regulations being brought in this December about the need for anyone taking scrap metal to a merchants, in our case scrap copper/brass/steel, would need a licence to do this.
If you were like me thinking you would have to go and get a licence to sell my scrap copper etc, then it seems that this will not be required.
Recent Guidance over the new regs has clarified that if you are selling waste metal as an incidental part of your business, a licence would not be required.
Though you will need 2 forms of ID, 1 photo, another a bill and the payment will be a cheque or transfer, so no more cash.
Hope this is info is of use to some of you
Cheers
