How to scrap your car in Lambeth

If you have a scrap car in or around Lambeth it's a simple process to get it scrapped for free.

  1. Get in touch and tell us the details of your scrap car as well as arrange a time for collection.
  2. We collect the logbook from you and tow away the car at the allotted time. Alternatively, you can send the logbook to us before hand. (If you are not in possession on the logbook for the scrap car, we are still able to tow it away, but you will need to tell us beforehand and you will need to contact the DVLA in writing to let them know you are having the car scrapped.)
  3. You get an intent of destruction certificate as well as section 9 of the logbook back.
  4. You send off section 9 to the DVLA.
  5. We send the rest of the logbook to the DVLA and inform them that the vehicle is off the road (make a SORN) and can be de-registered.
  6. You should receive notification from the DVLA within about 4 to 6 weeks.

What happens after we've towed away your scrap car?

Once we've taken your scrap car we first remove the tyres and the battery and any other parts that could be reused. We then separate out the parts that can be recycled such as the catalytic converter. Any hazardous parts are also removed from your scrap car and properly disposed of and any fuel remaining in the fuel tank is also removed. Only then is the vehicle ready to be crushed.
