Finding A Registered ATF
Knowing where to take your car when it needs scrapping can feel a little daunting, especially when factoring in that taking it to the wrong place could lead you to have an unwanted run-in with the law. Thankfully here at Scrap Cars For Cash you can be safe in the knowledge that we only deal with certified ATFs – or Authorised Treatment Facilities to give them their full title – meaning your car will always be scrapped in a way that is legal and fully compliant with the relevant recycling regulations.
If you wanted to search for an ATF yourself, then you are able to do so at the relevant database for the country you live in. In England this would be the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, in Wales, you’d check the Natural Resources Wales database, and in Scotland you’ll want to go through the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency.
Complete The Relevant And Legal Paperwork
Whether scrapping a car or just selling one, paperwork is always an important and often convoluted section of the sale process. You might be thinking that if the car’s just going to the scrap yard to never be driven again it doesn’t matter that much. You couldn’t be more wrong. It’s arguably more important than a standard used car sale.
For starters, you’ll need to make sure you’ve got your V5C – or logbook – as this is the document that could land you in hot water if not filled in correctly. A fine of up to £1,000 is just the tip of the iceberg if not completed, as you could also find any future tickets obtained by the vehicle still make it to your letterbox, as it will still be officially registered to you. After you have completed the form you’ll need to send it off to the DVLA, and if you’ve had the vehicle scrapped, you’ll usually receive a Certificate of Destruction within seven days. If your vehicle has been sold on before being scrapped or has instead been salvaged, you will not receive this certificate.
All of the collection agents on the Scrap Cars For Cash network are well versed in how the system works, so will be able to help you through the process if you’re confused at any stage. You’ll both need to sign Section 9 of the V5C, but it will be down to you as the vehicle owner to send the old logbook back to the DVLA.
