Before going to the scrap yard in Hawaii, it is really important that you know exactly what you will need to take and the laws regulating the selling of scrap metal in Hawaii. It is also really important to understand what information and data the scrap yards are going to keep by law. We have taken the time to go through the laws so that you can be confident when selling scrap in Hawaii.
First thing to be aware of when selling to scrap yard in Hawaii is that the yard will take photographs and video of you during the transaction. These will both be kept on record. All sellers are also required to fill in forms declaring that they have never been prosecuted for theft of metal. Payment is not straightforward either. Sellers will be paid by check that will be sent to the address on their driving license. Certain materials such as copper are restricted to contractors. So to sell copper you will need to have a contractors license. Contractors can receive payment when their material is recycled. Finally, when the recycling a vehicle, the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System will need to be notified of the vehicle ID.
