Why Bradford drivers scrap with us

Bradford's Clean Air Zone has been in place since September 2022, covering the area inside the outer ring road - but it's a Class C+ zone, meaning private cars and motorcycles are completely exempt and never charged, regardless of age or emissions. 
 
Only non-compliant taxis, private hire vehicles, vans, buses, coaches and HGVs pay, so there's no direct scrappage incentive tied to the CAZ for someone scrapping their own private car. 
 
Bradford's steep, hilly streets - the city sits across several valleys - put real extra strain on clutches and brakes compared to flatter towns, adding to the wear that catches up with ageing vehicles over time.

Did you know? 

Bradford invented Britain's first true light car Jowett Cars was founded in Bradford in 1901 by brothers Benjamin and William Jowett, and their 1910 light car is widely regarded as the UK's first genuinely lightweight, affordable motor car. 
 
The company went on to build cars and vans in Bradford for over half a century, including the popular postwar Javelin - more than 70,000 were built - and a rugged little van simply named "the Bradford," after the city that made it. 
 
Jowett's Springfield Works finally closed in the early 1950s, but for decades, Bradford was a genuine centre of British car manufacturing in its own right.

Top Customer FAQ’s

The most common methods of payment available are Bank Transfer and Cheque Payment. Bank Transfers are usually cleared within 24 hours from the time of collection. Cheque Payments are issued on collection but can take a few days to clear with your bank. it will depend on your local collections team as to which payment method they can offer. 

In order to receive a tax refund you will need to inform DVLA that you have sold your vehicle. This can be done once the vehicle has been collected using the V5C (logbook) - section 9 or section 4 on the new logbooks issued in April 2019 (yellow section) which will be filled in on the day of collection by the driver, and handed back to you, you will need to send this to DVLA (we recommend recorded delivery). If you do not have the V5C, we advise you send a letter to DVLA using the address details of the collector to advise that you are no longer the registered keeper as of the day and time of the collection. For more information regarding the tax refund, please contact DVLA or visit https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-tax-refund

We can normally collect without the V5C, if you add in the comments once you accept 'V5C missing' the collection company can confirm when they contact you. It is important that the registered keeper notifies DVLA in writing that the vehicle has been scrapped/sold using the details from the driver on the day of collection. If you need details of which collection team collected your vehicle feel free to contact us by phone or via our online chat facility.

The person present at the time of collection will have to provide Photo I.D and some form of address proof,recent Utility Bill/Bank statement, etc

The person present at the time of collection will need to provide us with their own Photo I.D, and proof of address (Utility Bill/Bank Statement etc, that is less than 3 months old), the keys and, if possible, the V5C (log book). We may also ask for spare keys and any other paper work, such as service receipts and old MOTs.

Due to the SMDA 2013 (scrap metal dealers act 2013) scrap metal dealers and car breakers can no longer pay for vehicles using CASH and also need by law a copy of the photo I.D and proof of address (recent Utility Bill/Bank statement, etc) of the person there at the time of the collection.

No, we do not sell parts at Remove My Car.

Common questions about scrapping a car in Bradford

How much is my scrap car worth in Bradford? 
Scrap value depends on your car's weight, condition, and current metal prices, alongside make and model. Get an exact instant quote using the form above. 
 
Do I need to be present for collection in Bradford? 
No. You can nominate someone else to hand over the keys and paperwork, provided they're over 18 and bring valid photo ID and proof of address, in line with the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013. 
 
Can I scrap a car in Bradford without a V5C logbook? 
Yes. If your V5C is missing, note this when you accept your quote - our collection team will confirm what alternative proof of ownership is needed on the day. 

Will scrapping my car help me avoid the Bradford CAZ charge? 
Only if you drive a taxi, private hire vehicle, van, bus, coach or HGV - private cars and motorcycles are never charged in Bradford's Clean Air Zone, so there's no CAZ-related saving from scrapping a private car specifically.
