Question 10

Is it legal to sell scrap metal for cash?

Accepted Answer

No. Under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, it is illegal for any scrap metal dealer in England and Wales to pay cash for scrap metal. There are no exceptions. At Lelo Metals we pay all customers by same-day bank transfer, which is fully compliant with the law and means your payment is traceable and secure. Any dealer offering cash for scrap is operating illegally.

Question 11

How much is scrap metal worth per kg?

Accepted Answer

Scrap metal prices vary depending on the type of metal and live market values. As a guide, non-ferrous metals such as copper, aluminium and brass tend to be worth significantly more per kg than ferrous metals like steel and cast iron. Prices change daily in line with global commodity markets. At Lelo Metals we base all our prices on real-time market rates to ensure you always get a fair price.

Question 12

Do I need ID to sell scrap metal?

Yes. Under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, all scrap metal dealers are legally required to verify the identity of every seller. You will need to bring a valid photo ID such as a driving licence or passport, plus proof of address such as a recent utility bill or bank statement. This is a legal requirement and applies to everyone, regardless of whether you are a regular customer or visiting for the first time.
