Kansas Scrap Metal Prices - USA

Kansas is a Midwestern state, that goes by several nicknames such as the Sunflower state, the Wheat state, but also America's Heartland. Although the state mainly thrives on farming, it's still worthwhile to sell scrap metal for cash in Kansas.

We have helped a lot of people start making money selling scrap metal over the years. What we always see is that everyone is super excited to learn as much as possible about sourcing material or finding the best prices, but does not think about the most important question to begin with.

Whenever you start selling scrap metal in a new region you need to ask yourself 'What are laws for buying and selling scrap metal here?'. This is so important in US particularly because each state has its own laws.

Kansas is no different and actually has some of the more strict laws compared to other states. We have been through all the laws and summarized everything that we feel you need to be aware of before you head to the scrap yard.

Firstly, all Kansas scrap yards are required to keep records of the transaction for at least 2 years. The most important thing for you to remember is to bring ID so that a copy can be kept with these records. The records will also include a description of your vehicle and a copy of your fingerprints. Sellers are also required to sign document of ownership for any melted or burnt materials. To further help combat scrap metal theft in Kansas, police have the power to tag and hold any material in a scrap yard for at least 1 month.
