Scrap Car Comparison Mascot Local advice and guidance section

⏱️ Wandsworth is an urban area that borders several London boroughs, including Lambeth, Merton, and Richmond upon Thames, giving it access to a wide range of scrapping and salvaging services.

But Wandsworth Council have a car scrapping scheme? It’s true that you can donate your car to the council for disposal. You only need to fill out their online form and they will collect the car 7 days later.

Scrap Car Comparison Mascot FAQs

What are the scrap car prices in Wandsworth borough?

The great news is that the scrap metal value of your car is directly related to its weight, which remains consistent throughout Central London. These prices align with the national average for scrap metal in the UK. Our network of approved scrap yards in Wandsworth and London provides competitive offers for your vehicle. If your car is salvaged instead of scrapped, we’ll locate the top buyer in the country to ensure you get the best price available nationally.

What will happen to my scrap car?

When your car is scrapped, it will always be recycled. This involves stripping and processing all components and parts according to national environmental standards. Nearly all the materials will be repurposed, recycled, or sold as spare parts; contributing to a circular automotive economy. Discover more about car recycling.

How long have you been operating in the Wandsworth area?

Whilst Scrap Car Comparison has been around since 2016, many of our associated scrap & salvage dealers have actually been in operation for over 40 years! Our network is comprised of local and family run business, whilst others are international recycling companies alike!

Will the scrap yard offer me any support on the paperwork?

Many people scrapping their cars often need some advice on the paperwork after the car has been collected. Their staff are always available to answer any questions when they collect the vehicle. We also have a wealth of expert car scrapping guides on our blog here.

Is it better to use a scrap yard which is local to me?

The short answer is yes, because the area an individual yard will cover is governed purely by miles and logistics. For example, a yard in Wandsworth will easily cover the area of their own borough. However, the costs and time associated with going further, and the low margins for scrap yards is why we will instead put you in touch with a partner that’s even more local to you.

Scrap Car Comparison automatically searches for prices in and around your exact location and our comparison engine finds the best option based on where you are weighing in price as well as logistics and speedy collection.

How do I get the best price for my car?

Many older or written-off cars aren’t destined for the scrap heap. Some are salvaged for parts or even fully restored. To get the best price, use a service like ours that provides both scrap and salvage quotes. Ensure you describe the car’s condition accurately, as salvage buyers often pay more. Also, check for collection fees—our quotes always include free collection.

But the single most important factor to getting the very best price for your scrap car is to speak directly with one of our advisors! After you accept a quote online, we'll give you a call to confirm details and schedule collection. Use this call to share any info that might boost your offer and get the highest payout possible.

Are you prices really guaranteed?

Salvage quotes depend on the car’s condition, not just its weight. Accurately describing the vehicle ensures the highest price and prevents later adjustments. Misrepresentation can result in lower offers.
