However, it’s also important that if you are looking to scrap your van that you use an authorised treatment facility rather than a scrap yard that may not be licensed and monitored by the Environment Agency.

Scrap your van for cash

Essentially, if you’re looking to scrap your van for cash and believe it’s not important to use an unauthorised scrapyard then there are two important reasons to reconsider:

The first is that you will still be legally responsible for your vehicle should it be used after you sold it to an unlicensed scrap yard and;

Only an authorised treatment facility can legally dispose of vans for scrapping.

The authorised treatment facility will issue a certificate of destruction which will prove that you are no longer legally responsible for your van and it has been disposed of – no-one will be driving it afterwards!

Also, there may also be issues with an unlicensed scrap yard not disposing of your vehicle in an environmentally friendly way, so harmful oils and fluids from your van could contaminate the ground if not dealt with properly.

Impressive scrap van price

So, if someone offers you a really impressive scrap van price then you need to ask whether they are an authorised treatment facility and why they are offering so much more than other yards.

Failing to comply with the law could see you being landed with a £1,000 fine which can be avoided if you use the experts at Scrap a Van.

It’s really not worth the hassle not scrapping your van properly and along with receiving the best scrap price possible, you’ll be reassured that the DVLA will be informed that you’ve disposed of your van legally and you can be reassured that the facility will be dealing with your van effectively so no harm will be done to the environment.

While vans are renowned for being reliable and tough there may be an issue if your van failed its MoT.

You may have used your van for years without any trouble, but now you’re faced with a vehicle that is uneconomical to repair and you may be looking to earn some money from scrapping it.

Vans suffer lots of wear and tear because firms tend to use them as workhorses but this can lead to rust issues in some vans along with poor suspension and engine problems.

There’s also another potential problem, particularly with older vans, and that’s the fact they may fail the MoT on emissions.

Get cash for your scrap van

These mechanical issues make older vans unattractive to buyers and even if it hasn’t failed its MoT you may struggle to find a buyer and it may just be simpler to get cash for your scrap van instead.

However, there are some things to consider and the main one is that the scrap metal industry is now heavily monitored – not only to cut down on metal theft but also to regulate waste handling effectively.

This means that you must use an authorised treatment facility when scrapping vans or trucks so the process of scrapping is done safely and responsibly and, more importantly for you, in compliance with the law.

Contact a van scrap yard

The first step when scrapping a van is to get the best scrapping price for your vehicle so you will need to contact a van scrap yard to find out what they will offer.

You will need to ask them whether they are an authorised treatment facility and whether they offer a free collection service which will help with the headache of taking the van to a scrapyard and then making your way home again afterwards.

Also, there’s no set value when scrapping a vehicle and the prices will vary and a lot depends on the vehicle’s quality.

The authorised scrap yard will also be able to inform DVLA that the van has been scrapped and you are no longer legally responsible for it.

If you would like more information about how to scrap a van, particularly if your van has failed its MoT, then it’s time to contact the friendly Scrap a Van team to see how much your scrap vehicle is worth on 01204 323106.

When your cherished vehicle reaches the end of its useful life and needs scrapping, not many owners or firms will consider their scrap van and its impact on the environment.

If you haven’t scrapped a vehicle in recent years, then you may not be aware that the laws for scrapping a van have become tighter and one reason for this is for environmental protection.

That’s because your van contains harmful oils and fluids that can contaminate the environment if not disposed of properly. This is a particular problem for those who decide to dump their van on the roadside or on a verge where it will fall into disrepair or be vandalised.

The aim of the new laws is for authorised treatment facilities, which are scrap yards monitored and licensed by the Environment Agency, to take care of these issues.

Van scrap yard will remove the oils and fluids

For example, the van scrap yard will remove the oils and fluids and dispose of them carefully so they will not harm the environment.

In addition, the facility will also strip the van of plastics and metals which can be recycled either for use in other vehicles or to be used for other purposes.

The plastics from vans can be used in anything from clothes to toys while tyres can be shredded and used for protecting the surface of a playground.

While this issue of vans and the environment may not be of much concern to you, it’s important that you avoid an unauthorised scrap yard because you run the risk of a hefty financial penalty for not disposing of your van correctly.

Scrap your van for cash

Essentially, the authorised treatment facility is the only scrapyard that can issue a certificate of destruction which is proof that you are no longer the legal owner of your vehicle and it’s been disposed of legally when you scrap your van for cash.

Not having this certificate means that should the van be used after you’ve accepted cash for it then you will remain liable. And you face the prospect of the financial fine.

If you would like to know more about your scrap van and the new law and to get the best scrap van prices, then it’s time to contact the Scrap a Van team on 01204 323106.

You could spend a long time calling around various scrap yards looking for the best scrap price for vans but you’d save time and hassle by simply contacting the Scrap a Van team first.

Essentially, a van’s scrap price is calculated in the same way as it is for scrap cars and other vehicles which will include:

What this really boils down to is that the heavier your scrap van is, the more you earn as a result.

Scrap your van for cash

You will need to appreciate that you can only scrap your van at an authorised treatment facility, which is a scrapyard that is licensed and monitored by the Environment Agency.

This means your van will be legally disposed of and any harmful fluids and oils are removed and metals and plastics are recycled. Any spare parts that can be resold will also be removed for this purpose.

If you use an unauthorised scrapyard, then you will still be legally responsible for your vehicle because only an authorised treatment facility can issue a certificate of destruction and inform DVLA that you no longer own the van.
