100% Coverage across Belfast

The nation’s capital, Belfast sits on Northern Ireland’s east coast in a prime location for access to the seas. The location of the Titanic’s construction, Belfast’s history is unquestionable. However, if your car looks to be going the same way as the ill-fated ocean liner, perhaps it’s time to sell it as scrap or salvage? National Scrap Car will find you the best price possible and guarantee to pay you on the same day that the motor is collected!

We offer complete scrap coverage across suburban and central Belfast (Béal Feirste) including Ardoyne, Cultra, Dunmurry and Castlereagh.

Prices in Belfast are mostly determined by scrap yards local to the city which follows the average cost for scrap metal in Northern Ireland. All vehicles that need to be scrapped have their prices determined by their weight. Small variables include things like alloy wheels being present.

Heavier cars will have more metal that can be recycled, and a better price offered. We only work with approved scrap yards (known as an Authorised Treatment Facility) which will depollute and recycle your car or van ethically and legally.

The prices we offer are reflective of free collection from wherever you are in Belfast, help with the paperwork and high professional standards to ensure a smooth experience from start to finish.

Whether your car or van is in the city centre or suburbs of Holywood, Castlereagh, Ardoyne or Strandtown then we can offer free collection. Our approved scrap yards across th wider Antrim county and Northern Ireland offer car collection from where you are. At the time of booking we’ll ensure recovery vehicles can access your vehicle.

Scrap your Van in Belfast

The process for scrapping a van in Belfast is really no different from scrapping a car. You may, however, see a higher scrap price for your van. This is because some vans are bigger than the average car, which means they have more metal to fetch you a higher price.

Scrapping your vehicle FAQs

What do I need to do before my car is collected?

After you have agreed the price on offer, you can provide us with more details regarding the status of the car and us getting access to it. You don’t need to empty, clean, or modify your car in any way but please remove anything you don’t want destroyed at the time of scrapping.

What will happen on the day of collection?

Once we have all the necessary details we will pass this on to the scrap yard that has offered you the best price. They will be in touch via phone to arrange a convenient time to pick up the vehicle. On the day they’ll phone as they approach and request things like the V5C (which you aren’t required to have) or keys (again, not necessarily required so long as the vehicle can still be removed). You, as the owner, don’t have to be present on the day but you’ll need a signed note from the owner and photo ID.

When do I get paid?

We make payment on the same day the car is collected. Once the scrap yard has notified us of car being present and correct, we’ll release payment via BACS to the account you have provided. You should see the cash available to you that day.
