Parliamentary mention for Masons!
During last nights Parliamentary debate on Metal Theft James Morris MP for Halesowen and Rowley Regis gave mention to our two pioneering schemes to combat metal theft in our area.
We are extremely pleased to say the least for this recognition and look forward to entertaining Mr Morris in the near future and show him how our Membership Scheme works in practice.
The following is an extraction from his full speach which is available online (link below). Due to time restraints he wasn't able to give the full speach as planned.
"Soon after I was elected, I toured the Mason Metals recycling centre in Halesowen. Mason Metals were working with Dudley Police on “Scrap Yard Watch” an appointment driven collection scheme to help house holders dispose of large white good legally and responsibly.
They have now launched a new membership card programme for their customers, with all members having to prove their ID and address annually. The benefit for customers is that it allows transactions to be completed more quickly and efficiently. The benefit for the company – and in terms of fighting metal thefts – is that it provides a robust paper trail for metal transactions.
This scheme is in addition to the statutory Waste Transfer Note records and is run alongside other measures to identify stolen metal, including comprehensive CCTV monitoring and checks with ultra-violet torches."
