Approval authorities for scrap metal businesses: King County

Approval by local authorities required

• A city or town, it must be approved by that city or town.
• An unincorporated area of the county, it must be approved by that county.

If no approving authority is listed for your city or county, contact your local city hall or county courthouse to ask about scrap metal business approval.

Who to contact

To find your approval authority, choose the first letter of the city or county where your business will be located:
