Car recycling and collection in Cardiff
Make space by selling an unwanted car
An unused vehicle can quickly become a burden when it has failed its MOT, suffered accident damage or developed an expensive fault. We help Cardiff owners arrange a fair sale and convenient local recovery.
Our partners collect in the city centre, around the bay and throughout Cardiff's residential communities. Non-running vehicles can be taken from a driveway, workplace or garage, provided the recovery equipment can reach the agreed location safely.
Once collected, the vehicle goes to an appropriate recycling partner. We provide practical instructions for the appointment, the payment and the DVLA update, so each part of the handover is understood.
How it works
From valuation to vehicle removal
Everything is arranged in three clear stages.
Choose your offer
Check the offer at your own pace. If you proceed, confirm the car's condition, collection address and any access restrictions.
Collection and payment
The partner verifies the details, loads the vehicle and completes the paperwork. The agreed payment is made by a secure traceable method.
Local coverage
Collection across the Welsh capital
Coverage extends from central Cardiff to communities in the north, east and west of the city. Safe access remains important, particularly in permit areas, private car parks and narrow residential streets.

What vehicles can we collect?
Vehicles may be running, broken down or unsafe for the road. We accept enquiries for MOT failures, crash damage, serious mechanical faults, high mileage and cars that have reached the end of their useful life.
Explain any missing parts, lost keys, locked wheels or parking limits before booking. The collector can then plan the correct recovery method and avoid unexpected changes at the appointment.

Common questions
Questions about scrapping a car in Cardiff
Is pickup free across Cardiff?
Local recovery is normally part of the service rather than an added
charge. Enter the exact postcode to confirm that your location is
covered and see the offer available there.
Can you recover a car from a residents' car park?
This depends on permission and vehicle access. Tell us about gates,
permits, barriers or underground parking so the recovery partner can
decide whether the truck can enter safely.
What must I show the collection driver?
Photo ID and proof of address are normally checked, along with the
V5C when available. We list the required documents before the booking
is finalised, so you know what to have ready.
Will I receive cash when the car is collected?
No. Scrap metal transactions in Wales must use an approved traceable
payment method. Bank transfer is commonly used, with the details and
expected payment time confirmed beforehand.
When should the DVLA be told about the sale?
Notify the DVLA promptly when the vehicle has been transferred. We
provide the handover details needed to update the record and recommend
keeping confirmation that the notification was completed.
What if I do not have the V5C?
Collection can sometimes continue using other ownership evidence.
Declare the missing document at the quote stage so the partner can
explain which identification and supporting information will suffice.
