Responsible recycling, the Basildon way
We’re serious about environmental compliance. Your vehicle is processed at a licensed ATF where it’s depolluted (fluids, tyres, battery) and up to 95% of materials are recycled or recovered. We notify the DVLA and arrange your CoD, so you’re not liable for the vehicle after collection.

FAQ — Scrap My Car Basildon
How quickly can you collect in Basildon?
Often same day from SS13, SS14 and SS15 postcodes. Next-day guaranteed in most cases.
Do you charge for collection or paperwork?
No. Collection is free and DVLA notifications/CoD are handled through our ATF partners.
Will the price change on collection?
Only if the car is materially different from what was described (e.g., major parts removed). Otherwise, the quoted price is guaranteed.
Can I scrap a car without the V5C?
Yes — bring photo ID and proof of address. We’ll complete a V5C/3 or provide a bill of sale and notify DVLA.
How do I notify the DVLA?
We can do it during collection, or you can complete it online. You’ll receive confirmation and, where applicable, a Certificate of Destruction from the ATF.
Do you buy salvage, not just scrap?
Yes. If your car has repairable value, we’ll offer more than scrap value and place it with a suitable buyer.
What about outstanding finance?
We can’t scrap a vehicle with active finance. Ask your lender for a settlement letter first.
