Scrap Metal Software for Illinois

Illinois recyclable-metal purchasers operate under 815 ILCS 326 (Recyclable Metal Purchase Registration Act) plus the 2022 catalytic-converter law (720 ILCS 5/16-43). WeighPay 365 captures every required field at the POS and prints registration-ready receipts.

Illinois Regulation & Compliance Notes

Illinois Recyclable Metal Purchase Registration Act (815 ILCS 326) requires purchasers of regulated recyclable metal to record seller name, address, government photo ID, vehicle license plate, material description and weight, transaction date/time, and payment method. Cash payments above $100 are prohibited for catalytic converters and several non-ferrous categories. The 2022 catalytic-converter statute (720 ILCS 5/16-43) added serial/etching capture and seller documentation. WeighPay 365 enforces the $100 cash cap, captures the converter-specific fields, retains 1-year transaction records, and exports a registration-ready compliance log.
