A car of ours is to be scrapped, in a scrap yard,

what is the procedure of this?

call the scrap yard to come and collect it? do they come and collect?

and then what are the steps to de-register this vehicle with DVLA, as it wil no longer be used?




ADDED:
and are there companies who take your vehicle to scrap?

do they take a fee?

and how can they be trusted, that they will do that - scrap the car??

    Ask for a destruction certificate or at very least fill in the correct section on the V5C.

    and are there companies who take your vehicle to scrap? - yes

    do they take a fee? - they pay you £50-£100 for your car

    and how can they be trusted, that they will do that - scrap the car?? - ask them are they registered with DVLA and will they issue a destruction certificate. If you fill in the correct section on the V5C, you are covered no matter what they do with your car

    I hope this helps !!!
