Cash Payment Ban For Scrap Metal

What This Means For The Scrap Metal Dealer

If any scrap metal dealer who is not previously registered with the second-hand dealer will be assessed by BLA if they are suitable to register. Any previous bad history or criminal history and insolvency will be taken in to account. Police in Victoria now has powers to search any premises or scrap yard if they believe the scrap metal dealers are paying or receiving cash. Penalties up to $30, 000 will apply for buying and selling scrap metal for cash and on the spot penalties up to $1900.

The new laws were developed after Victoria Police and the Victorian Law Reform Commission identified that the scrap metal and vehicle recycling industries are vulnerable to infiltration by organised crime.

The reforms are made by Consumer Affairs Victoria and have worked closely with the Australian Metal Recycling Industry Association, the Victorian Automobile Chamber of Commerce and Victoria Police.
