At least 95% of your vehicle will be recycled

Why does car recycling matter in Balham?

Why is car recycling so important? Used parts and materials from cars and vans can be recycled or reused to stop the amount of waste being dumped in landfill sites. Recycling rates are increasing but so is our car use and the population, so ensuring vehicle waste is properly recycled is more important than ever. Legislation now dictates that 95 per cent of a car has to be recycled.

Working throughout Balham, the team at Car Scrap Surrey are car-breaking specialists. Working from our Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF), we will always ensure that your car is broken down in the right way. You may have never thought about what will happen to your car once it is scrapped but with laws now tighter than ever around this area, we will ensure your car is scrapped the right way. Once your car is scrapped, you will be issued with a Certificate of Destruction (CoD).

  • Depollution: We remove all hazardous and toxic materials and liquids from your car, such as brake fluid, windscreen washer fluid, and fuel.
  • Dismantling: Our car breakers will then take out all the salvageable items, such as glass and catalytic converters for reuse. These can save a lot of money over the long term and save natural resources and energy.
  • Destruction: The car metal shell is crushed and then broken up into small pieces for metal recycling. We are proud of our excellent recycling rates and continue to offer high standards of responsible recycling.

What’s more? Our car recyclers will buy any make and model of car and pay you for it. You can have complete peace of mind knowing that your car has been recycled in the most environmentally friendly way.

Any make, any condition. If it has wheels or it’s metal, we’ll take it.

  • Cars
  • Vans
  • Non-runners
  • MOT failures
  • Crash damage
  • Motorbikes
  • Caravans

What people say about Rick

4.6 from 19 reviews on Google

“Great service, easy, friendly and efficient. I helped an elderly friend to scrap her old car from an awkward location with limited access. The car had a seized clutch so couldn't move under it's own power, or so I thought, but Rick had an impressive trick to get it moving, and it took barely 5 seconds to get it down the drive and straight up onto his flat-bed truck. A sight to behold!!”
Stephen D., Google review
“Professional, Courteous and Quick. Rang on a Monday for a Weds pickup (which suited me), I'm sure pick up could have been same day if I had wanted it. Rick arrived exactly when he said. Good price received and car put onto pick up, V5 all completed and car gone within 5 mins. Rick we a joy to deal with. I would thoroughly recommend Rick and SSC...”

“So impressed with how quickly everything was sorted! We had a lot of scrap metal left over from building work and Ricky was here in a flash. No problem with anything at all, he just took everything. Saved us so much effort than having to go to the dump, and we got some money too!”
