How To Scrap Your Car or Van in Scotland

To scrap your car or van in Glasgow and Edinburgh or anywhere in Scotland, first, search for an Authorized Treatment Facility (ATF), also known as a scrapyard or breaker’s yard, ensuring it is licensed to handle scrap vehicles. Remove personal belongings and take the V5C registration certificate to the ATF. The facility will issue a Certificate of Destruction (CoD), officially confirming your vehicle's scrapping and freeing you from legal responsibilities.

Inform the DVLA by sending the yellow section (V5C/3) of the logbook. There are no fees, and some centers may offer money based on the vehicle's weight and parts. Always verify licensing to ensure environmental compliance and legality.

What Vehicles Can Be Scrapped

In the UK, a wide variety of vehicles can be scrapped once they've reached the end of their usable life or are no longer roadworthy. This includes **standard cars**, which are commonly recycled due to age or damage. **Motorbikes**, whether scooters, mopeds, or larger motorcycles, can also be scrapped. **Scrap your Vans Scotland**, often used for business purposes, can be recycled once they're no longer fit for service.

Larger vehicles like **lorries and trucks**, which may wear out after extensive usage, are equally viable for scrapping. In addition to these, **specialty vehicles**—such as taxis, caravans, and agricultural vehicles—can also go through the scrapping process. To comply with environmental regulations, it's crucial to use an **Authorized Treatment Facility (ATF)** that can responsibly manage hazardous materials and recycle usable parts.
