Scrapping cars in London, properly

We started Scrap Car Removal Eastbourne because too many people in London were getting a raw deal from scrap car companies. Lowball quotes that changed on the day. No-shows. "Collectors" without licences who dumped cars in fields. We thought London deserved better.

So we built a service that's transparent from start to finish. You tell us about your car. We give you an honest price. We turn up when we say we will, pay what we quoted, and handle every piece of paperwork including the DVLA notification. 184+ cars collected in London and counting.

We're ATF licensed, Environment Agency regulated, and fully insured. Every car is processed through a proper facility — depolluted, dismantled, and recycled. Nothing goes to landfill.

The ELV (End of Life Vehicles) Regulations require a minimum 85% recovery rate and 80% recycling rate for every vehicle processed. We consistently exceed these targets — because doing it properly isn't a stretch goal, it's just how the process works when it's done right.

Every car goes through depollution first: all fluids drained and recovered, hazardous materials safely removed, tyres and batteries separated for specialist processing. Then usable parts are salvaged — a working alternator going into another car is better recycling than smelting it down. Finally the shell is shredded, with steel, aluminium, and other metals separated for raw material recycling.

It's not particularly exciting. It's just the right way to do it — and we think that should be the baseline, not a selling point. Every car we collect in Eastbourne goes through this exact process.
