A site licence will allow you to operate from a site(s) within Wyre and collect any scrap relevant to that site. Each site must have a nominated manager.

A collector's licence will allow you to collect scrap door to door without an appointment within the Rossendale area only. You will need to apply for a collector's licence from each authority you wish to operate in. You must notify the licensing department each time you change your collecting vehicle, as valid licence plates must be visible on a collector's vehicle.
