FOLLOWING AMENDMENTS TO THE LEGAL AID SENTENCING AND PUNISHMENT OF OFFENDERS BILL, TO TACKLE METAL THEFT, A BILL WAS PASSED TO STOP CASH PAYMENTS FOR SCRAP METAL.

THE GOVERNMENT HAVE YET TO SET A DATE WHEN CASH CAN NO LONGER BE PAID, FROM WHICH POINT PAYMENT WILL BE MADE BY CHEQUE ONLY.

DURING BOTH THE TRANSITIONAL PERIOD AND ONCE THE BILL HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED, WE WOULD APPRECIATE EVIDENCE OF IDENTITY FROM ALL PERSONS DISPOSING OF METALS FOR CASH PAYMENTS, BY MEANS OF ALL OF THE FOLLOWING:

1. UK PHOTOCARD DRIVING LICENCE (INCLUDING ADDRESS), UK PASSPORT OR ORIGINAL PASSPORT FROM ANY NATIONALITY OR AN OFFICIAL IDENTITY CARD.

2. UTILITY BILL (WITH A CORRESPONDING ADDRESS TO PROOF OF IDENTITY LISTED IN NO. 1)

3. WASTE CARRIERS LICENCE

AFTER THE TRANSITIONAL PERIOD, FAILURE TO PRODUCE IDENTIFICATION WILL RESULT IN NO TRANSACTION TAKING PLACE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION.
