Car Scrapping Service
Car Scrapping Service
The price we offer for the collection of your scrap car includes all collection and treatment costs and we will also issue an official DVLA Certificate of Destruction (CoD) free of charge.
If you do not obtain a CoD you could be fined under new laws on continuous registration and you may remain legally responsible for any criminal activities which may be carried out using the vehicle.

More about vehicle de-pollution
Following the introduction of the European Union Vehicle De-Pollution directive on the 16th July 2004, vehicles offered for destruction must be handled in an environmentally sensitive manner.
With an estimated average service life of just 10 years, an incredible 4 million vehicles are disposed of in the United Kingdom every single year. Most are disposed of properly through vehicle recyclers but a small minority continue to dump end of life vehicles illegally, often in environmentally sensitive areas.
The advanced security systems operated by RecycleACar.com in association with Ward Recycling enable the controlled destruction of your scrap car or other scrap vehicles.
To help combat the unsightly and anti-social menace of vehicle dumping, tough new laws have been introduced by the DVLA regarding vehicle ownership.
If a vehicle does not have a valid tax disc it must be declared SORN (Statuary Off Road Notification) and subsequently removed from the public highway. Vehicles used on the public highway without a valid license disc are likely to be impounded with a substantial fine imposed and a sum payable for the release of the vehicle. If the vehicle is to be disposed of it must be taken to vehicle recyclers and the DVLA notified of its destruction. Failure to adhere to this procedure will result in the registered owner of the vehicle continuing to be responsible for the license fee and a minimum fine of £1000. The maximum penalty for making a false declaration by declaring SORN when the vehicle is actually used or kept on a public road is £5000 and two years imprisonment.
