Trust & verification

Every yard on European Scrap Market is verified before it can accept requests. Here is how we keep scrap trading safe for sellers and yards alike.

Verified yards

Every yard is checked before it can accept requests: company registration, tax status, and environmental permits are verified. We review applications manually — normally within one business day.

Traceable payment

No cash. Yards commit to traceable payment methods — bank transfer or documented settlement. This protects both sellers and yards.

ID verification

Yards verify the identity of sellers at pickup. For high-value batches, both parties exchange documented proof of transaction.

Documented transactions

Yards provide settlement notes and correct waste documentation. For industrial and commercial sellers, this includes waste transfer notes and certificates of disposal.

One yard at a time

Your request goes to one yard — never several at once and never public. Only the yard that accepts your case sees your contact details. You decide whether to do business.

No obligation

You are never locked in. If the price, yard, or arrangement does not suit you, simply decline. The case passes to another yard if you are not helped.
