I am assuming a skip hire firm will charge you. There are companies who say they collect scrap cars for FREE. Here is one example:-

They say the service is both free and legal. I cannot speak for any of these companies but just offer the information for your investigation in the hope it might save you money.

Speedy took away 2 cars 10 miles from their depot for me. They came the day after I asked and charged nothing.
The only thing you might do is wind the windows down before they come so they don't get smashed to get the chains through.

Did exactly what it said on the advert.

with the price of scrap at the moment no wonder they take them away free :lol:, i did hear a place outside wick pays YOU for your scrap cars.

I think Speedy pay if you get the car to them.

However down south companies pay whether you get the car to them or they pick it up. My brother got £80 for his and they collected it.

Thanks for all that. Perhaps I should have mentioned that it's a van - does it make a difference???? :eek:

Yes. it makes it more attractive - more metal content.
The balance has now swung back towards the scrapper being paid a few pounds at least for a defunct vehicle. However, in such a rural community where a fair few miles might be involved for a towing/recovery truck then I'd be prepared to have it uplifted and shifted for nowt.

In the motoring section of the Groat there are several businesses advertising for scrap vehicles.

The earlier link to Speedy gave NO indication that their service was free. I am all for yer local hero, if they shout out what they do they will get more takers!!
