earlofzetland Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Anyone know how you go about getting your car scrapped these days. I've been told you have to pay for it now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twerto Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 No idea if you pay for it.. ( for the car ) but laylands used to or still do. just charge you for the disposal of the tyres £10 each if i remember right. and i dont have a clue about the amenity trust.. I've never been bothered to wait for them to come and pick the cars i have scrapped up.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sudden Stop Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 I had a 'project' car outside my house which one of my neighbours mistook for scrap - can't blame them really it needed a fair bit of work. They called the amenity trust and said the car had been abandoned. Twasn't long before the car was taken away to Yell and scraped. Never cost me anything other than the car it's self.

Medziotojas Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 but laylands used to or still do Don't you mean Layfields? You could also try an ad for spare parts. Someone might find some use for it, or is it too badly gone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fjool Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 disposal of the tyres £10 each if i remember right.Don't think I've ever paid over £1.50 per tyre to dispose of old ones when buying new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twerto Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 I mean Layfields. and i don't think i have ever paid for disposal of tyres when actually getting new ones put on my car.. other than the cost is probably in the price of what they quote me for new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I'm aware, you can choose to take the old ones with you and don't have to pay that fee. Not sure what one would do with them if one did this, but the option is there...

Twerto Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 I dont think Exhaust and tyre have got that.. or aleast with me at least. i just pay the fee for the tyres I'm buying and that it.. i assume everything else is just added to that cost as a lump sum.. but definitely no separate fee.

penfold Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 The fellow that does my tyres always states the charge for disposal as extra if he has to dispose of them, I normally ask a local crofter if they would like a few old tyre's to help keep the cover on their silage pit, that solves having to pay the fee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fjool Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 I dont think Exhaust and tyre have got thatThey did last time I got tyres. And I'm pretty sure that Burgess listed this as an extra too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Try first if it can be sold (even for next to nothing) or given away, leave someone else with the job of final disposal. Ask the Fire Brigade if they want it, the local lot here have been using wrecks for practice sessions. They'll dispose of when they're done. The Amenity Trust will take it away, eventually, or at least most of it. Were round here twice in recnt weeks, took the cars and the wheels that were actually attached to them, left two neat little piles of wheels, that were spares, but belonged with the wreck, sitting where the cars had been. WTF Don't know anything about paying them, never have in the past, but it's been a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twerto Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 If you are giving it to the fire brigade you have to be able to deliver it to them.. they don't recover it ( excuse the pun ) from where ever it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandRover S2a Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 The Amenity Trust don't charge for the removal of scrap cars. Had an MoT failure Citroen removed the other week. Called them on the Friday and it was gone by the following Wedsnesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Njugle Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 They don't take the tyres though. They'll zip the wheels off and leave them for you. Oherwise they'd have to charge. (Unless this has changed since i last scrapped one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMouth Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 About a year ago they took my old Kia away. I was told that if I wanted to make a donation I could. Seemed a shame to scrap a car with less than 35,000 on the clock, but I didn't have the tools to sort out the jammed on brakes so it was the easiest way to get it off my drive at the lowest cost with the least hassle.
