New Mexico Scrap Metal Prices - USA

New Mexico is a Southwestern state with the capital being Santa Fe, which is strangely enough not the biggest city, but a rather small town. This state is very large in terms of area, but at the same time has only few inhabitants, which makes it one of the most sparsely populated states in the USA.

We are sure that you are excited to start making money buying and selling scrap metal in New Mexico. Before you learn where to get good quality scrap or how to get the best prices, it is hugely important to know the laws that govern this region. Like many states in the US New Mexico is a great place to be selling scrap, but it has its own unique laws that you need to know before heading out to the scrap yard for the first time.

We have studied the scrap metal laws in New Mexico and summarized the most important things that you need to be aware of before you leave the house. Most importantly, bring ID! It sounds obvious but we hear every week from a handful of people who got turned away because they didn't have ID.

Every state in the US requires ID and New Mexico is no different. The scrap yard will keep a transaction record for at least 3 years. They will need to keep a copy of your ID, a description of your car, the license plate number and photograph of the material. So make sure you are comfortable with all this being taken. These laws have played a huge role in fighting the theft of scrap metal.
