100% Coverage across Edinburgh

The nation’s captial city, Edinburgh consists of the Old Town and the slightly newer, but still historic New Town & West End districts. One truly modern implemenation, though, is the new low-emissions zone that will restrict the types of vehicles that can move through the centre – without paying a fee, at least. If you think you’re ready to make the switch to a more eco-friendly model, perhaps even an electric car, sell your current motor with National Scrap Car and we’ll make sure you get the best deal for it.

We offer complete scrap coverage across Edinburgh including Leith, Craigentinny, Murrayfield, Blackford and Granton.

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

Heavier vehicles like scrap vans or 4x4s will have more metal that can be recycled, and a better price offered. We only work with approved auto junk yards (known as an Authorised Treatment Facility) which will depollute and recycle your car or van ethically and legally.

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

Whether your car or van is in Corstorphine or further out in Penicuik, our approved scrap yards across Scotland offer car collection from where you are. At the time of booking we’ll ensure recovery vehicles can access your vehicle.

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.
