Wisconsin Scrap Metal Prices - USA

For thos, who are planning to start selling scrap metal in the state of Wisconsin, we have studied the legislature and put together a summary of the most important laws regulating the buying and selling of scrap metal. A huge mistake we see beginners make, is turning up to the scrap yard not knowing the laws in their region. Even more experienced scrappers get surprised when selling scrap metals in a different state, since each state has their own unique laws. These can vary greatly.

In Wisconsin the rules are straightforward compared to many other states. The first thing that you must remember is to bring a valid ID. this is true in every state - not just Wisconsin. A copy of your ID will be kept on record along with the photograph of your car or vehicle and the license plate that you brought the material in.

Next, you are required by law to sign a document stating that you are the owner of the material. The scrap yard will keep all of this info plus a description of the material on record for at least two years. These type of regulations have actually really helped in reducing the issue of scrap metal theft throughout the state of Wisconsin. There are more laws, however most of them do not affect the sellers. The scrap yard will be able to assist you further.
