About Us

We offer the best price for your scrap car

If your car is past its prime, you might be thinking of scrapping or recycling it. Selling your car for scrap can seem a whole new source of stress, but it’s a perfectly good way to make money on an old vehicle and with our instant quote function, we make it just as easy as selling your car.

Scrap Process

1

Battery Removal

First and foremost, we will go ahead and remove the battery of a vehicle as they need to be dealt with sensitively. If this component remains in good, working order, we may look to sell this onto a new owner for continued use. When a battery cannot be re-used, it will be separated into its different components and recycled as far as possible.
2

Tyre Removal

The tyres are usually removed to be recycled next. Again, if they are in good condition and (in this case) remain roadworthy, they will be resold as part-worn tyres to extend their use further. If they cannot be resold, they will be recycled.
3

Hazardous Material Removal

As is true with tyres and batteries both, the hazardous materials of a vehicle – naturally – have to be dealt with responsibly. This requires the use of a dedicated de-pollution centre, aptly staffed with specially-trained professionals that know how to dispose of these materials safely. This can include dealing with lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and more – which can be harmful to humans, animals, and the environment – so especial care and precaution is taken at all times.

Parts Removal

The larger parts of cars that can be reused, resold, or need to be individually recycled are the next parts to be processed. This can include things like the glass from the windows and windscreen as well as the bumpers and plastic fascia.

Processing

Finally, the remains of the vehicle itself will be processed and recycled. At this point, the car is essentially a shell with some seats (if these haven’t been removed for reuse), but there are many components that make up a car so there is still value to be extracted.

And that’s it. It may sound simple, perhaps because it was a quick rundown, but that is a hard and fast guide as to when happens to your car when you scrap it. There is a lot of effort that goes into making sure every last material can be re purposed, recycled, or reused and that is the overarching goal of any metal recycling facility.
