Short answer: Ask what price per kilogram or tonne they will pay for your material, whether it is firm and in writing, what conditions or deductions apply, whether collection is free, when and how you will be paid and whether they hold any licence the law requires, because a reputable buyer answers these quickly and clearly, and vague answers are a reason to look elsewhere.
