Take part in our countryside survey!
Is there anything you'd change about our green spaces or have a suggestion about how they could be improved? Let us know in our countryside survey, running until Friday (24 October).
Scrap metal licensing
You will need either a site licence or a mobile collector’s licence (or both) if you plan to trade in metals or motor salvage
A site licence lets you buy and sell scrap metal from a fixed location within Hart.
A collector’s licence allows you to travel within Hart to collect scrap metal through door-to door collections.
If you collect scrap metal across a number of local authority areas, you will be expected to obtain a licence from each of those councils.
Fees and payment

Enforcement
We have additional powers under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 (see related content) to refuse or revoke a licence if a dealer is considered unsuitable. Both the Council and the police can enter and inspect premises and issue closure orders.
