Today it has close to 3 Million people living there, with Jackson being the state's capital. It has very blue collar - hard working - economy. Therefore scrap metal is good business in this state.

Before you start selling scrap metal in Mississipi, it's important to know more about the scrap metal laws there. Mississippi has fairly standard laws in most aspects. We have been through the laws that control the buying and selling of scrap metal in Mississippi and summarized all the key things you need to know before you go to the scrap yard.

Firstly, a law that sets Mississippi apart from other states is the way that payments are dealt with. There is no cash given for scrap metal in Mississippi. The payment can be made via bank transfer or by check that will be sent to address on your driving license. That takes me to the next important point. Do not forget your driving license. A record of the transaction will be kept and a copy of your license is needed for the record. The record will also include a photo of both the material and you at the time of the transaction, a description of your vehicle and its license plate number. All this will be kept on record for a minimum of two years.
