	"I'~~ve had some discussions with~~ a ~~very nice person at the Environment Agency~~. ~~Their response is very clear~~ and ~~helpful~~. ~~Briefly (in my words):~~		:''* This is entirely an issue for members, who may need to register - most commonly if they're doing this as part of their business. See [http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/business/sectors/wastecarriers.aspx this link] for more detail.''

			:''* Local Freegle-affiliated communities, and Freegle nationally, are under no legal obligation to register themselves, to verify members' registration status, or to make sure members know their obligations under the Duty of Care.''

	* The issue here is entirely for ~~members, who~~ may ~~be obliged~~ to register~~, most commonly if they are doing this as part of their business. See [http://www.environment~~-~~agency.gov.uk/business/sectors/wastecarriers.aspx] for more details~~.		:''So you can allow scrap metal posts if you want, and you might choose to point out to people asking for scrap that they may need to register - but you're also fine not worrying about it at all."''

	* More generally, ~~everyone using Freegle is responsible for their Duty of Care to dispose~~ of ~~waste responsibly. See [http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/~~business~~/topics/~~waste~~/40047~~.~~aspx] for details~~.		Additional information, 2022: if someone carries scrap metal as part of a business or for profit, and it isn't scrap they created themselves, they must hold an upper tier waste carrier licence. The registration number always starts with CBDU.

	* Local Freegle-affiliated groups, and ~~Freegle nationally~~, ~~are under no legal obligation to register themselves~~, to ~~verify the registration status of members~~, ~~nor to ensure that members are familiar with their obligations under the Duty of Care~~.		To check whether a waste carrier is registered, go to GOV.UK and search for "Public Register", or call 03708 506 506, 8am to 6pm, weekdays only.

	~~So, you can allow scrap metal posts if you want, and you might choose~~ to ~~point out to people asking for scrap that they may need to register, but you are also fine not worrying about it at all."~~		Back to [[Specific Items]]

	~~Additional information 2022:~~

	If a person carries scrap metal as part of a business or for profit, they must have an upper tier ease carrier licence if it’s not scrap they have created. The registration number will always start CBDU.

	~~If you ever want to check a waste carrier is registered go to GOV.UK and type Public Register in the search bar. Failing that call 03708 506 506 8am to 6pm week days only.~~
