What the Oklahoma Law Says
Oklahoma classifies catalytic converters as regulated metal. As of Senate Bill 432 (2021) and subsequent updates, here’s what you need to know:
Scrap metal dealers can only buy detached catalytic converters from:
Licensed businesses (like auto repair shops or recyclers)
Individuals with proof of ownership (such as a vehicle title, bill of sale, or matching VIN)
Sellers must provide a valid photo ID
Buyers must keep detailed records of all converter transactions, including identifying marks and serial numbers when available
Cash payments are restricted — most must be made by check or electronic transfer
It’s illegal to possess or sell a converter that has no traceable origin
These rules are designed to help law enforcement track stolen parts and discourage theft.
Can You Still Sell Your Converter?
✅ Yes! If you legally own your converter and can provide the right documentation, you’re good to go.
If you’re a repair shop, auto recycler, or even a private vehicle owner with documentation, you can sell your converter in Oklahoma. And when you sell through RRCats, we help ensure it’s all done by the book.
