Can i take scrap metal in a car to scrapyard?

[JJy2k]

If transporting old metal to a scrap yard, does it have to be loaded on a van or trailer or is a car ok? I've heard you just drive onto the weighbridge but will it matter about being in a car? Sounds stupid but im new to this so would appreciate the help. Ta.

you can take it on a push bike if it pleases you to do so, any vehicle you turn up in will be fine:)

I used to work with a bloke who collected coke from the coal yard for his stove, his vehicle was weighed on weighbridge with his big dog inside, he filled up with coke then vehicle was weighed again while weighbridge operator patted dog.Was told he got away with dogs weight in fuel for years operator never sussed the scam.

I can't see the scrap yard caring, but It would be illegal if the scrap was an unsecured load on your back seat.

Well I went to the yard thinking i had at least a tenners worth of metal, then they offered me 30p for the lot! Load of merchants! It was heavy steel! I ended up taking it to the tip. 30p! You see these vans driving round collecting odds n sods and they dont seem to have anything large, just lots of small stuff. How can you make a living from this?

I reckon they must get a bit of plutonium from time to time now that stuffs got to be a few quid a ton.
