Why choose our Bristol car scrapyard service
Choose Car.co.uk if you’re looking for a convenient and responsible way to get rid of your car in Bristol. We’ll provide you with a list of licensed car scrapyards so that you can compare your options with ease and find the best price for your vehicle. Our network is made up of a wide range of Authorised Treatment Facilities (ATFs) that comply with the strictest environmental standards, so you’re guaranteed eco-friendly and responsible recycling.
Since Bristol introduced the Clean Air Zone (CAZ) in 2022, there’s been an increase in the number of drivers looking to dispose of old, inefficient cars for more modern alternatives. If you want to stop paying that £9 daily fee every time you travel through the city centre, we can help. Give us your postcode and car registration and we’ll show you all the best deals in your area. That way you can put the payment towards a more CAZ-friendly vehicle.

Your car could be parked harbourside or in a small town like Filton and we’d have no problem finding a car scrapyard that would happily take it off your hands. And it doesn’t matter what condition your vehicle is in either. Got an old hatchback that won’t run anymore or a transit van that works fine but doesn’t comply with CAZ? We’ll still offer our best valuation. In fact, many of the cars we’ve handled in Bristol have failed their most recent MOT, due to common issues with worn tyres, corroded coil springs, oil leaks and worn brakes.

These public registers will tell you key information around whether or not the business has been registered as an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) in compliance with the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013.
We also conduct our own checks whenever we partner with a new car scrapyard, so you can use our service with complete peace of mind.
To make sure a car scrapyard is environmentally-friendly, check the Environment Agency’s online public register to see if the business is ATF-certified. Having this certification means the recycler must comply with the latest standards set by the UK government and End-of-Life Vehicle Regulations.
