ScrapTradeUK.com is an independent information resource built to help people understand what UK businesses need to know about the paperwork, duty of care and contract terms that come with selling scrap metal, from waste transfer notes and registered carriers to rebates and what to check before agreeing a commercial deal.
Why We Built This
Small and mid-sized UK businesses often sell scrap on a handshake and discover the paperwork questions later. We built this site to explain, in general terms, what duty of care means in practice, what documents are worth keeping and what to look for in a commercial arrangement. It is general information, not legal advice, so check the official guidance for your situation.
Part of the ScrapTrade Network
ScrapTradeUK.com is part of the ScrapTrade network — an online scrap trading marketplace connecting verified buyers and sellers of scrap metal, e-waste, batteries, and more. Where this site focuses on the paperwork and contract side of selling business scrap, ScrapTrade is where sales are documented, with verified buyers, transparent weighing and escrow-protected payments.
What We’re Not
We’re not a scrap buyer and we don’t handle transactions directly through this site — this is an information resource. For the actual buying and selling, head to ScrapTrade.
Good paperwork starts with a documented sale. ScrapTrade records each trade, with verified buyers, transparent weighing and escrow-protected payments.
