Collect legal scrap such as old appliances, car parts and offcuts from homes and workshops, and sell it to a registered scrap dealer.
- Who it suits
Strong, practical people with transport and contacts at workshops and builders.
- Who pays
Registered scrap dealers.
- What they get
Clears old metal from homes and workshops and returns it to industry.
- Is there demand?
The Second-Hand Goods Act requires scrap dealers to record each seller's name, address and ID, and they must report scrap transactions. People selling their own scrap do not register. We found no reliable public price list for scrap metal, so ask dealers for today's prices.
- Real examples
- Workshops and builders
- Households clearing old appliances
- Panel beaters
A good sign: three regular pickup partners.
