Scrap Car Yards
Scrapping and dismantling an old vehicle is best left to certified car recycling companies. These companies are equipped to handle the toxic substances found in cars, ensuring they are disposed of safely and responsibly.
However, the issue with scrap yards is that they will only give you the scrap metal value for your car, ignoring the value of any working parts! That’s why it’s best to go to a specialised scrap car buyer.
As with everything else related to your vehicle, you must conform to the law before making any related decisions. You need to remember a few key things before you decide to scrap your car.
Can I Drive My Scrap Car?
Any car that has been declared as ‘written off’ by an insurer can no longer driven be on the road. In this case, you will have to arrange for a car removal service in order to sell your car.
Proof Of Ownership
As a precaution against car thefts and the stolen car trade, all scrap cars must show registration information or proof of ownership when making a sale. If you can’t identify as the registered owner of the car, you can’t scrap your vehicle.
Parking Your Scrap Car On The Street
In Brisbane, many local councils enforce strict regulations regarding the parking of unregistered vehicles on public streets. Unregistered vehicles are often considered an eyesore and can be a safety hazard.
For example, the Brisbane City Council explicitly prohibits the parking of unregistered vehicles on public roads. If a vehicle is found to be unregistered and parked on a street, it can be reported to the council, which may result in the vehicle being issued a fine or, in some cases, towed away.
As a licensed car scrapper we offer complete paperwork assistance so you don’t have to worry about fill out out heaps of paperwork by yourself.
