Enter your registration, get offers from scrap car collectors near you, and choose the one you want. Free, with no obligation.
It depends mainly on the car's weight, its condition and today's scrap metal prices. Collectors near you send offers, and you choose the one you want — there's no obligation.
Your V5C logbook (to prove you're the keeper), the keys if you have them, and photo ID. You'll be paid by bank transfer: by law, scrap can't be paid for in cash.
Cars must be scrapped at an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF), which issues a Certificate of Destruction. Your collector takes it there.
GOV.UK's "Scrap your vehicle" guide explains what to do with your logbook and how DVLA is told when your car is scrapped.
Often yes, with other proof that the car is yours, but tell the collector when you book — some won't take a car without its V5C.
No. Requesting offers is free for you.
