Liverpool has historically been the United Kingdom's most important cities. Both commercially and culturally. It offers plenty of opportunity, particularly for buying and selling scrap metal as the scrap metal industry is booming in the city. We have spoke to many people from the Liverpool area that have been trying to break into the industry and with our help they have learnt enough to make a great second income stream or even full time career.
For those of you that are new to the industry the first thing that you need to be aware of are the laws that control the buying and selling of scrap metal in the UK. Liverpool, like the rest of the UK has had issues with scrap metal theft. This is a massive problem for everyone involved, driving up prices and causing distrust toward legal scrappers. Below we have been through the legislation so you can get the basics and make sure you are on the right side of law.
For those that are looking for a scrap yard near Liverpool we have done the research to bring you the best scrap yards the city has to offer. Our top picks are Aintree Scrap Metal and S Norton and Co. These two yards are both great offering amazingly fair prices and brilliant customer service.
