If you are thinking, “Should I scrap my car in Scotland?”, you're not alone. We speak to customers every day who have reached that moment where keeping their car no longer feels like the right option.

Whatever condition your vehicle is in, we provide a smart and simple way to sell your old car across Scotland. We buy running and non-running cars, damaged vehicles, and cars that have simply reached the end of their useful life. You can drop your vehicle off at one of our dedicated recycling centres in Scotland, or use our extensive car collection service if having it collected is more convenient. Either way, we focus on keeping the process clear, efficient, and easy to manage so you always know what to expect.
When deciding whether to scrap your car, it is important to know that it will be dealt with responsibly. At EMR Vehicle Recycling, we believe every vehicle deserves a proper send-off. No matter its condition, your car will be recycled through authorised processes, with materials recovered and reused wherever possible. We take our responsibility seriously and combine this with a customer-focused approach, so you can feel confident that your vehicle is being handled correctly while also supporting more sustainable recycling practices.
