Why More Londoners Are Scrapping Cars Than Ever
Cars eventually reach the end of their life — whether from MOT failure, accident damage, or age. Scrapping your vehicle not only frees up space but ensures your old car is handled responsibly. At London Metal Recycling, we scrap over 800 vehicles every year, making us one of the capital’s leading recycling facilities.
1. You Must Use an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF)
Not all scrap yards are the same. By law, vehicles must be dismantled by an ATF to ensure proper depollution. We are officially recognised, meaning all harmful fluids and materials are safely removed before recycling.
2. You’ll Receive a DVLA Certificate of Destruction
Scrapping a car doesn’t mean a paperwork nightmare. We issue you with a Certificate of Destruction, which informs the DVLA your car has been scrapped. This gives you legal peace of mind.
3. You Can Get Paid Quickly
With our free scrap quote tool, you’ll know exactly how much your car is worth. Once collected, we ensure fast payment — no delays, no hidden charges.
4. It’s Environmentally Friendly
Every vehicle is dismantled with care. Tyres, oils, and batteries are separated to avoid pollution, while the remaining shell is recycled into new steel products.
5. Free Collection Across London
Don’t worry if your car won’t start. Our scrap vehicle collection service covers Wembley and beyond, making the process stress-free.
