North Carolina is a Southeastern state that has the 9th largest population of all states in the country. Raleigh is the state capital and the state is also known as the Old North State. Since the 1970s North Carolina has seen a continuous growth and this means construction is going on all the time. This drives the need for metals as well and selling scrap metal here will get you some good money.

Whether you are new to the scrap industry or a seasoned scrapper, the first thing that you need to make sure of, is that you are familiar with the laws that govern the buying and selling of scrap metal in the area that you operate in.

Something that really sets North Carolina apart, is that it is illegal for any scrap yard to purchase the catalytic converter when separated from the vehicle that it comes from. As with all states in the US you are required to bring ID to sell scrap in North Carolina. That seems obvious, but so many people forget it on their first visit or two.

Furthermore the scrap yard will keep a copy of your driving license on record along with details on the transaction, a description of your car and license plate number.
