Metal beer keg, prohibition on purchase or possession by scrap metal dealer
A scrap metal dealer is not allowed to buy or have a metal beer keg at their business, even if it is broken or damaged. The only exception is if the dealer bought it directly from a brewery or someone the brewery officially sent. Breaking this rule is a class A misdemeanor, which means the person can only be fined — but they could also face other criminal charges on top of that.
