With three depots in Benfleet, Basildon and Thurrock and over four decades of experience in the recycling industry, what we don’t know about scrap isn’t worth knowing!

Scrap car collection Chelmsford – how it works

It should only take a matter of minutes for our driver to collect your scrap car. Obviously this will depend on where it is being stored and how simply or difficult it is to load it onto our recovery vehicle. 


Ideally we would prefer the registered keeper to be present; however, we do understand that life isn’t that simple so as long as you can arrange for a trusted friend, family member or neighbour to meet us, we can still collect your car.

Scrap car collection Chelmsford – what will you need?

When it comes to scrapping your vehicle, we would prefer to have both your V5C (log book) and car keys. Sadly, if you don’t have either of these, we are unable to scrap your car. 


However, if you only have your V5C, we can still scrap your vehicle. If you only have your keys, as long as you have another proof of ownership (such as a SORN document or tax reminder dated within the past 6 months), we can scrap your car. 


The person present when we collect will need some form of identification. Ideally this should be a photo driving license but if you don’t have this, and in-date passport and utility bill that shows your name and address, dated within the past 6 months will be accepted. 

Scrap car collection Chelmsford – payment

When it comes to scrap car collection Chelmsford, we can pay you in two ways: cash or cheque. If you would like to be paid in cash, this is only possible if your car still has a valid MOT. If you would prefer to be paid by cheque, please ensure that you contact us to pre-arrange this. Please note that legally, we must make the cheque out to whoever is present when collecting the scrap vehicle.

Chelmsford is the county town of Essex, although in actual fact, it is a city. 30 miles northeast of the centre of London, it is understandably, very popular with commuters to the capital. 


Chelmsford now incorporates a number of former parishes, including Broomfield, Great Leighs, Newland Spring, Great Baddow, Little Baddow, The Walthams, Galleywood, Margaretting, Howe Green and Widford, amongst others. 


Highlands Park: a huge, historical park with beautiful gardens plus a cafe.


Chelmsford Cathedral: The Cathedral Church of St Mary, St Peter and St Cedd is housed in a 15th-century building which became a cathedral back in 1914.


Melbourne Stadium: Melbourne Stadium is primarily an athletics stadium, which is owned by the local council.
