Scrap Car SE14 New Cross has been collecting scrap cars across New Cross for years. We're not a faceless national call centre — we're a local team that knows these streets, knows the parking restrictions, and knows that when you need a car gone, you need it gone quickly.
Every car we collect in New Cross goes through our ATF-licensed facility. That means proper depollution, legal DVLA notification, and a genuine Certificate of Destruction. No shortcuts, no backyard operations, no dodgy paperwork.
We've completed 119+ collections in New Cross alone. Our drivers know the area inside out — from the main roads to the residential cul-de-sacs. Same-day collection is regularly available, and we pay by bank transfer the moment we load your car onto the flatbed.
An Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) is a vehicle processing site licensed by the Environment Agency to legally handle end-of-life vehicles. The licence isn't a rubber stamp — it requires specific equipment for fluid recovery, approved storage for hazardous materials, and ongoing compliance with environmental regulations.
Not all scrap dealers are ATFs. Many operate without the required licences, which means no Certificate of Destruction for you, no DVLA notification, and no guarantee your car isn't being stripped in someone's backyard.
All scrap cars collected by Scrap Car SE14 New Cross in New Cross are processed through our ATF-licensed facility. You get a proper Certificate of Destruction, a clean DVLA record, and the knowledge that your car has been handled legally and responsibly.
The ELV (End of Life Vehicles) Regulations require a minimum 85% recovery rate and 80% recycling rate for every vehicle processed. We consistently exceed these targets — because doing it properly isn't a stretch goal, it's just how the process works when it's done right.
Every car goes through depollution first: all fluids drained and recovered, hazardous materials safely removed, tyres and batteries separated for specialist processing. Then usable parts are salvaged — a working alternator going into another car is better recycling than smelting it down. Finally the shell is shredded, with steel, aluminium, and other metals separated for raw material recycling.
It's not particularly exciting. It's just the right way to do it — and we think that should be the baseline, not a selling point. Every car we collect in New Cross goes through this exact process.
