How To Scrap a Van
If you have been thinking “how to scrap my van?” We are here to help. The process to scrap a van isn’t too different from a scrap car. We’ve made everything easy for you and with nationwide free collection! And the best part, the value we receive for your scrap van will go to charity. In order for us to be able to scrap your van, we require a few details about yourself and your vehicle.
We’ll ask you for the vehicle registration number, and then a few further questions about its condition to work out whether it is best to scrap or auction your van to maximise the donation to charity. No matter the condition of the van we are happy to arrange free collection and donate it to charity.

Scrap My Van For The Best Price
Our team of experts make sure we get the best price for when you decide to “I want to scrap my van”. We follow the same process we use to for a scrap car. By evaluating each vehicle we receive we determine whether it is best put through to auction or if more will be made from the scrap value. Because we look to get the best price for every van donated we won’t give you an instant quote. Using 10 years of experience and using a nationwide network of car breakers and car auction centres, we can scrap your van no matter where you are in the UK. So whether you are looking to scrap your car in London, Birmingham, Manchester or anywhere else we can help.
Quick, Easy & Free
Organising to scrap a van on your own can be a complicated process; you have to find an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) near you, fill out the correct paperwork, and then find a way to deliver the van to the correct location. Then there’s always the pressure to make sure you select the right scrapyard, find out who will give you the best value and also fully recycle your old van correctly. The decision doesn’t have to be a complicated one. With Giveacar collection is quick, easy and free.
After a member of the team takes down some details you will receive your confirmation email from Giveacar. We will pass your details to our collection agents. Our local agent will call you to arrange free collection at a time that suits you. We aim for collection within a week but please let us know if you need it sooner and we will do our best to arrange that for you.
Our Process
You’ll be glad to hear that the process to scrap a van is easy. It’s the same process we use to scrap a car.
Contact Us
1. Firstly, get in touch with the team, call us on 020 7736 4242 or fill out our online form and one of the team will give you a call to confirm some final details. We’ll also use this opportunity to make sure you are aware of the collection process, our fees and your responsibility to inform the DVLA.
Your Van is Collected
2. We will pass your details on to our scrap car partners. One of the local collection agents will call you to arrange free collection. On the day of collection, they will contact you an hour before they are due to collect. Make sure to ask them to sign your Section 9 of the V5C, or Section 4 on newer V5C’s, with their Business Name and Business Address and then keep a hold of this section but give the rest of the V5C to the agent.
Your Donation is Made
3. At Giveacar we put Charity First. Depending on the condition of your van we may be able to auction it instead of scrapping. We will inform you of which option we’ll take whilst we have you on the phone! If your van is destined for the scrapyard and you would like a copy of the Certificate of Destruction, please get in touch with the team and we’ll be happy to help. You’ll receive a receipt from Giveacar and from your charity once the donation is made. Please note it takes 6-8 weeks for your charity to receive your donation from when the vehicle is sold.
