§ 21607 Junk Dealer Record Retention

• •Junk dealers and recyclers must keep records of all purchases and sales of junk or scrap metals.
• •These records must be kept for at least two years after the last entry.
• •This rule helps track where scrap metals come from and go to.

A person sells old copper pipes to a scrap yard.

The scrap yard must write down the sale and keep that record for two years. If they don’t, they could get in trouble.
