New Hampshire is a small state in the New England region that has the die-hard motto "Live Free or Die". It's a real gritty blue collar state that has an economy that thrives on manufacturing, but also professional services and real estate.
Selling scrap metal in NH can be a good hustle that generates a constant income. There's always demand for certain metals such as copper and aluminum here and you'll be able to fetch decent prices for those.
Everyday we speak to people that want to understand the scrap metal industry better. Some are completely new to selling scrap metal and some have some experience but are not that in tune with how the industry works. So first learn about the NH scrap metal laws.
We have been through the New Hampshire scrap metal legislation and summarized it to give you all the information that you need to be aware of before you head over to the scrap yard. It seems really obvious but don't forget to bring ID, you would be surprised at how many people are surprised that they need to bring ID to sell scrap metal.

A Copy of your ID will be kept on record along with a description of your car, the license plate number and a description of the material. Law enforcement can tag and hold any material that a scrap yard receives, while it conducts an investigation.
