SCRAP YOUR CAR/VEHICLE FOR FREE environmentally friendly

Guy on tv the other night brought a £50 car from flea bay and drove it straight to an auction where a scrap metal dealer paid him around £200 for it, the programme reconed that the car was worth about £200 in scrap metal, catalytic convertors and batteries are worth a few quid to

As to the comments of our company being taken over. We have always been the same and although we have a new system/database it is still possible to trace retrieve a car from the old one.

I have obviously worded my post wrong, it is not scrap car that I was saying had been taken over, it was the third party scrap company they used in February from York.

That said if you email us your details we can supply you with a certificate that you can present to the DVLA and they will inturn forfeit the fine demand in most cases. The moral of the strory to avoid any problems later is always notify the DVLA personally, we will also do that and the twain will meet and the case will be closed.

I have paid my fine. Obviously the scrap company (3rd party, not scrap car UK) not giving me any paperwork to say they had taken the car meant that I didn't realise I had to notify the DVLA as I have not scrapped a car before. I know that if you sell a car to a dealer or to a private individual you need to notify the DVLA, but as I had to get the car removed off a public highway quite quickly, I did not read the website thoroughly enough and did not notice the part that said I needed to notify the DVLA. Also I made numerous calls in June this year trying to get paperwork to prove the car was scrapped and was specifically told by Scrap car uk that they could not provide anything as they had no record of the car and that the scrap company in York were the only ones who could help, but as they had been taken over they had not kept any paperwork.

Hi all

Can anyone give me an indication of how much parts can be sold for? tyres, exhaust system, engine, battery, radio? got car to scrap as it costs more to fix than it is worth but otherwise everything in the car still works. car is 13 years old.

By recycling old scrap cars, we can help reduce emissions and cut down on pollution. So if you have an unwanted vehicle in need of scrapping fast, it will not cost you a penny and you will be doing your bit to help the environment.

better still, keep 'em running, older cars seem to have far better fuel economy than today's overweight beasts!

My oh just scrapped his Primera and gotr £150 for it. Worth taking to the scrapyard yourself if it is a runner. As to the person wnating to know about selling parts. If you can be bothered we bought a wing mirror from e bay last year for £12 so there are lots of bits you could sell. The problem is then getting it to the scrapyard.

i think any firm that scraps cars would only take an item if they could make money on it (selling tyres, battery etc).. with the remainder of chassis then recycled, or REALLY sold for scrap (ie, to metal merchants).

with high demand for metals worldwide, it would be PLAIN DAFT to not get paid for your old car, esp. when whoever takes it will be making money for their time and effort..
