Next

Once your request is in

From this point the buyer for your postcode takes it on. The route looks like this.

  1. 01

    Your postcode

    Give us the registration plus the postcode of the street, drive or yard where the car sits. That postcode picks the buyer.

  2. 02

    The buyer for that area

    The licensed buyer responsible for that patch reads the details and replies with a figure for the car.

  3. 03

    A slot that suits you

    Happy with the figure? Pick a day and a time window for the truck. Turn it down and that is the end of it, with nothing to pay.

  4. 04

    ATF and certificate

    Payment arrives by bank transfer, the car heads to an Authorised Treatment Facility, and its destruction is logged with the DVLA.

FAQs

Before you send it

Short answers to what people ask before booking.

More on the full FAQs page.

How does my request reach a buyer?

Your registration and postcode go to the licensed buyer who covers that postcode. They make the offer and arrange the collection with you directly.

Do I have to accept the offer?

No. An offer is just that. You can think about it, ask questions or say no, and nothing is owed.

How am I paid?

Into your bank account. Cash for scrap has been banned in England and Wales since the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, so expect a transfer, never notes.

Which documents matter?

The V5C is the main one. Lost it? Mention that when you send the request; scrapping usually still goes ahead, and the DVLA is then told by letter.
