How do you choose a recycler who can provide proper evidence?
Short answer: Ask whether they issue weight dockets and statements of receipt, whether they are licensed or registered where that is required, whether they can identify what happens to the material after it leaves them and how long they keep records, then choose one who answers clearly, since a recycler who cannot document what they receive cannot help you document what you sold.

Ask about dockets, statements of receipt, licences and what happens to the material afterwards.
What good answers sound like
A clear, specific answer that they can back up with a document is a better sign than a general assurance.
Why it matters
Your records are only as good as the recycler’s, so choosing one with proper paperwork strengthens your own evidence.
How ScrapTrade Fits In
ScrapTrade buyers are verified and each trade is recorded, which gives you a documented counterparty.
Good evidence starts with the sale. ScrapTrade records the material, weight, buyer and payment of each trade, with verified buyers and escrow-protected payments.
