up until lately the laws and the way the scrap yards worked was fairly easy but due to a few knuckelheads out there that have been helping them selfs to mostly copper in vacant buildings and some churches we are going to have to deal with the city goverment wanting alot more record keeping from the dealers and us collectors. I run a small business and I'm just now making it legitmate with unclesam. this will help with the new laws . how is it in other ststes as far as information you have to give to the scrap yards to get paid and how do you get paid . on the spot by cash or check or do you have to wait on your money being mailed to you
