Thanks, my point is. I do quite alot of scrap when other things are quiet (we all have to get a living). And yes i do have a W/C licence. I also have a very good friend that is a Gypsy, and he's a very good business man. Neither of us would ever dream of stealing to get a living.

 

Don't tar, (excuse the pun), everyone with the same brush.

I drove past that scrap yard with a load of logs on the back , i thought the police were going to pull me over , as they were checking for waste licence

They had 2 riot vans there

[Wolfie]

yes, my dad does the same - these last two wet days he has run a load of scap in which gives him his days money and then spends the rest of the day in the yard splitting wood.

 

He spoke to a policeman the other day that reckoned you need a special licence to carry scrap. He has a WCL already. Going to look into it with the Envir Agency.

 

Thinking about it, it may be a good way to cut down the metal thefts. If you remove the cash side from the business and everyone dealing with a scrapyard requires a licence then all you have to do is remove licences from anyone caught with stolen metal.

[TRADITIONAL LOGGERS]

The good scrap places scan all metal waste to check for smart water marking and take vehicle details and some even pictures of the people in the vehicles.
