Scrapping your Car in Tower Hamlets
Thinking of scrapping your car in Tower Hamlets? There are a multitude of reasons as to why you might want to scrap a car. Perhaps it’s an old car that is too expensive to maintain, or the owner of an unsafe vehicle may not have the funds to repair the car. Car scrapping in London is becoming increasingly popular and many people are scrapping their car for cash instead of trying to fix or sell it themselves. Scrapping a vehicle is a reliable and efficient way of generating some extra income – and a fantastic way to get that vehicle off of your hands for good!
The reasons to scrap your car in Tower Hamlets
Older cars are notoriously difficult to repair and run, not forgetting the amount of money you will need to spend on it over the course of its short life. People are often attracted to older cars because of their classic style, but if it’s making you lose money on it, perhaps it’s time to invest in something more fuel efficient and cheaper to run.
It’s also a lot harder to sell on older cars now. People are conscious about the effect fumes have on the environment, and as many older cars aren’t fitted with catalytic converters, they tend to go for the newer ones that do.

A scrap car removal service removes unwanted vehicles for recycling. The registration of the car must be surrendered to the recycler in order to cancel the vehicle tax.
Direct Debits for car tax will be automatically cancelled by the DVLA, and any months remaining on the tax will be refunded. A check will be issued and made out to the registered keeper of the vehicle.
In the case that you own the vehicle but you are not the registered keeper, you can write or contact the DVLA with proof of your ownership, such as a bill of sale.
Please include your name, address, and registration number. Additionally, be sure to mention that you want the car tax refund sent to your address.
Once our collector has inspected the vehicle and confirm that it is as the seller has claimed, they will then proceed to make payment.
This helps to protect both parties from any complications and is line with our network terms. Our collector also needs to check the vehicle is as the seller has claimed to confirm it’s worth the full value of the quote.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you for choosing our service.
If you have lost the keys to your car, don’t worry – we can still scrap it for you. Just leave it to us and when we contact you to confirm your details, please let us know if there are any obstructions or height restrictions that could make it difficult to recover. You can sell your car for scrap without the keys, but you will need to provide us with paperwork proving vehicle ownership and there may be deductions from your final payment for any inconvenience and extra work for the scrap dealer who collects it. Thanks for choosing Scrap My Car!

We will also give you a certificate of destruction. only authorised centres are able to provide this. The certificate provides evidence the vehicle has been taken off of the road and scrapped.
Without this document you could potentially still be liable for insurance or road tax. We are an authorised centre and can provide you with the certificate of destruction for your vehicle.
If you don’t have a registration certificate, you can still contact the DVLA to let them know your car has been scrapped.
Make sure to give the full details of the scrap yard or recycling center, as well as the car details including registration, make, model, and date of sale.
The DVLA will need this information in order to remove the vehicle from their records and avoid any penalties for unlicensed vehicles.
By law, all scrap yards and recycling centers must be licensed by the Environment Agency, so you can be confident that it will be disposed of safely and responsibly.
