NSW Government passed laws and regulations in 2018 to put a ban on cash payments for scrap metal  and sales of scrap cars for cash. This was made illegal in November 2018 and could involve fines of up to $30,000. Payments can now be made via company cheque or electronic transfer. We cannot pay instant cash anymore.
