If you intend to transport End-of-Life Vehicles (scrap cars) or scrap metal as part of your business or with a view to profit, you need to register with the Environment Agency as a waste carrier. If you are caught carrying scrap metal whilst unregistered you could be fined up to £5,000.
If you intend to keep, store or treat End-of-Life Vehicles (scrap cars) or scrap metal at any place, you will need to apply to the Environment Agency for an environmental permit or appropriate exemption. If you operate a scrap metal or End-of-Life Vehicle facility without proper authorisation, you could face fines of up to £50,000 or up to 5 years in prison.
