Dealing with an end-of-life vehicle doesn’t have to be the end of the world. Pretty much every car out there has something of a finite life and will eventually need to be disposed of.
The question being – what should you do with your scrap car when the time comes?
Here at Take My Scrap Car, we have a relatively obvious answer – the clue being in our name! Contact us and we’ll take your scrap car off your hands free of charge, paying you the best possible price in accordance with scrap values on the day.
But if you’d prefer not to go this way, there are still a fair few things you can do with a scrap car.
Four examples of which you’ll find below:
- Donate To Charity
First up, there’s always the option of donating your scrap car to any given charity. It’s simply a case of finding a charity that’s currently accepting donations in the form of scrap vehicles and handing yours over accordingly. They may or may not arrange collection and transportation of your vehicle, but in all cases, you’ll take pride in a good deed done. - Reuse Its Parts
In addition, many scrap car owners choose to take matters into their own hands by reusing and recycling various parts themselves. If you’re mechanically minded, there’s endless scope as to what can be done with all the bits and pieces that can be harvested from a scrap car. One of which being to put them altogether and create some kind of contraption from scratch. Far from a realistic option for everyone, but an option nonetheless. - Sell It For Parts
If you yourself have neither the time nor the inclination to get your own hands dirty, you’ll probably find somebody willing to take your car off your hands. There are thousands of amateur and professional mechanics across the country who are always on the lookout for spare parts. And given the fact that the average scrap car contains hundreds of potentially reusable parts, you may be able to find a willing buyer. The search process could take some time and effort, but it’s an option to consider. - Get Creative
Last but not least, if you’ve been keeping up with our blog as of late, you’ll be familiar with the concept of turning scrap cars into weird and wonderful works of art. If you know your way around a power saw and welding iron, why not create the next scrap metal masterpiece? Even if it doesn’t earn you fame and fortune, it could still earn you an honourable mention in our blog!
Of course, the easiest option when looking to deal with a scrap car is to have it responsibly recycled. Simply get in touch with a member of the team at Take My Scrap Car and we will take care of everything on your behalf. We’ll also pay you the best possible price for your scrap vehicle, in accordance with scrap values on the day.
