Scrap Metal Dealers Information – Dover District Council

Dover District Council has introduced a scheme to assist residents in identifying scrap metal collectors who are licensed to operate across the District.  Licensed collectors will be asked to display a yellow plate detailing some of their licence information on the rear of their vehicle, in addition to displaying their licence at the front of the vehicle.  Unlicensed collectors are committing criminal offences.  If you have concerns over an individual or business operating as an unlicensed collector please contact the Licensing Team who can investigate.

For further information please visit Dover District Council’s site https://www.dover.gov.uk/Business/Licensing/Other-Licences/Scrap-Metal-Dealers.aspx
