Do I need to bring anything with me?

Since the introduction of the Scrap Metal Dealers Act, all scrap metal buyers must ask you for a copy of photo ID and proof of address, which must be dated within three months.
A United Kingdom PHOTO driving licence is probably the easiest form of ID, but we accept other forms of identification please see below
If you have a car that you wish to scrap, bring the V5C registration document if you have it available, although in many cases we can still scrap the your vehicle without it.
