Summary

Existing law requires junk dealers and recyclers, as defined, to keep written records of all sales and purchases made in the course of their business. Existing law prohibits a junk dealer or recycler from providing payment for nonferrous material, as defined, unless the payment is made by cash or check, the check is mailed or the cash or check is provided no earlier than 3 days after the date of sale, and the dealer or recycler obtains a photograph or video of the seller and certain other identifying information, as specified, which information is to be retained by the dealer or recycler for a specified period of time. Existing law exempts from the payment by cash or check requirement, among others, the redemption of nonferrous material of a certain value when the primary purpose of the transaction is the redemption of beverage containers, as specified. This bill would modify that exemption to apply to the purchase of nonferrous material of a certain value when the majority of the transaction is for the redemption of beverage containers, as specified, and would exclude the purchase of materials made of copper or copper alloys from the exemption. This bill would incorporate additional changes in Section 21608.5 of the Business and Professions Code proposed by AB 1583, that would become operative only if this bill and AB 1583 are both chaptered and this bill is chaptered last.
