To help ensure a smooth collection, please remember to remove all personal belongings and any non-vehicle related waste from your car before it is collected or dropped off at the recycling center.
How and When Will I Get Paid For My Scrap Car?
It’s important to understand how payment for scrap cars works. Due to the Scrap Metal Dealer’s Act 2013, cash payments for scrap cars are no longer permitted in the UK. The only legal forms of payment are either a non-negotiable cheque or a bank transfer. When you accept your quote online, you will be shown the payment options offered by the recycling center.
Our website is designed to be secure, allowing you to safely provide your bank details online if you choose. You can verify this security by looking for the padlock symbol in your browser’s address bar and ensuring our web address begins with ‘https://’. If you prefer not to enter your bank details online, you can simply provide these details to the recycling center when they call you to arrange the car collection.
Do I Need to Contact the DVLA When I Scrap My Car?
Yes, absolutely. It is a legal requirement in the UK to inform the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) when you are no longer the owner or keeper of a vehicle, including when you scrap it. When the recycling center collects your car, they will complete their section of the V5C document (log book), specifically Section 9, and return this portion to you. It is crucial that you immediately send this section to the DVLA.
Alternatively, and often more conveniently, you can notify the DVLA online through the official DVLA website. You can find their vehicle transfer of ownership service by searching for “sold bought vehicle DVLA” on any search engine. If you happen to be without your V5C, you must still inform the DVLA in writing as soon as the vehicle is transferred to the recycling center. Remember, you are transferring ownership to the recycling center, so you will need to provide their business details to the DVLA, not Motorwise’s.
