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.
