Nelson Mandela Bay was established in 2001 and is one of eight municipalities within South Africa. Located in the Eastern Cape provinces it contains Port Elizabeth as well as other towns and rural areas. Like many areas of South Africa Nelson Mandela Bay has seen a lot of development over the past few decades. This has led to a boom in trade and industries including a huge boost in tourism. These industries have been great for those buying and selling scrap metal. I know that many people are new to the scrap metal industry and are looking to start their journey into making money selling scrap. We have with hundreds of people over the years and helped them make some extra cash or even start a business by buying and selling scrap metal in South Africa. Those new to the scrap metal industry always want to rush ahead and know about the best places to find scrap or the best scrap yards in the local area. While this is important we need to start with the laws that surround buying and selling scrap metal. Scrap metal theft has been a real issue in South Africa so new laws make it more difficult to sell scrap now. Firstly, make sure to take ID. Often ID is required to buy or sell scrap. This is dependent on the area and how much of what metal you have but speaking to your local scrap yard is the easiest way to be sure. Next, receipts are often required for large amounts of material. Again make sure to speak to your local scrap yard to know what you will need a receipt for before getting the scrap yard with a load of scrap.
Once you understand the laws to sell scrap in Nelson Mandela Bay you need to know where you are going to find scrap metal to sell. There are many option for find scrap. We highly recommend that you have a few different types of metal that you go after to keep getting scrap metal consistently. One of the best ways to offer free removal of old household appliances. Many people will not be able to get rid of an old washing machine themselves so will happily give it to you for free if you can collect it. Another less common method it to buy old gold jewellery. Often you can buy it for less than the scrap price and you can make easy profit. This is a great way to make cash but be careful! Only buy it if you are sure it is real gold. From personal experience I can tell you that there is nothing worse than getting the scrap yard are finding out you have paid for junk. The final part of selling scrap metal is knowing where to sell you scrap. Nelson Mandela Bay has many great scrap yards. We recommend BT metal recyclers however try the scrap yards that are closest to you and don't be afraid to go as many as you can until you find the one that is best for you.
