Environmentally Friendly Recycling of Scrap Cars
As a car scrapping service provider in Saffron Walden, we take the entire process of removing a car off the road very seriously and can assure customers they are investing in an environmentally friendly way to dispose of their vehicle past its MOT. Going the extra mile to ensure reliable service, we even connect with environmental agencies and authorized treatment facilities to provide quality assurance that all safety checks have been met and no damage has been done to the environment – As research shows, 8% of steel in a car is reusable as well as 11 per cent plastic (plus other materials) and reusable tyres can be found. Therefore, if you’re looking for an environmentally responsible car scrapping option in Saffron Walden then get in touch with us.

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!
