Why Recycle Your Car?

Before we dive into the main preparation process for car recycling, let's briefly explore why recycling your car is a great idea. Car recycling has significant environmental benefits because it reduces the demand for new raw materials and energy. Recycling your car can also earn you some extra cash, which is always a welcome bonus.

Things to do while preparing your car for recycling:

1. Check for Personal Belongings

The first step in preparing your car for recycling is to remove all personal items. It's easy to forget items hidden in the glove compartment, under seats, or in the boot. To avoid losing anything valuable, ensure you make a checklist of commonly forgotten items such as sunglasses, CDs, or important documents.

2. Gather and Organise Necessary Documents

While car recycling is a direct process with Abbey Scrap Cars, you should still gather and organise your essential documents. Fortunately, you do not need a V5 document for our services since we are a DVLA-approved ATF. However, having your identification - photocard driving license OR valid passport with supporting document of council tax bill or bank/credit card statement or a utility bill dated within the last 3 months at the ready is still a good idea.
