According to census data, around 62% of households in Nottingham have access to at least one car or van, which is technically below the national average of 76.5%. However, that’s still a lot of vehicles for this East Midlands’ city and based on our data, many of them are reaching end-of-life status. Of the thousands of cars we’ve handled in the area, the average age sits between 16 and 20 years old with around 122,670 miles on the clock, right around the time repairs are becoming more frequent. So, finding a reliable car scrapyard service is essential.
Nottingham car scrapyard FAQs
Nottingham car scrapyards usually open between the hours of 8am and 5pm, Mon-Fri with some offering Saturday morning and out-of-hours operating hours. However, it depends on the recycler.
With our comparison service, you don’t have to worry about opening times because we’ll collect based on your selected date and time, which is ideal if you have an awkward work schedule.
You can check with Nottingham Council to confirm whether the business has a scrap metal licence and is registered as an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) in compliance with the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013. The Environment Agency also has information on permits and licences throughout the UK, which you can find through their public register. Finally, every ATF should have a registered address and contact details, something you can easily check online.
To avoid doing all these checks yourself, use Car.co.uk. We only partner with licensed car scrapyards, so you can select the one that suits you with complete confidence.
You can look this up on the Environment Agency’s public register. It will tell you whether the car scrapyard is ATF-certified, meaning it must follow environmental standards as per the national End-of-Life Vehicle Regulations. We also do our due diligence to make sure at least 95% of your vehicle’s mass is recycled.

Yes. Both Nottingham Council and the UK government regulate all car scrapyards in Nottingham, making sure they comply with the latest standards in the Scrap Metal Dealer’s Act and End-of-Life Vehicle Regulations. It’s also up to them to make sure scrap metal licences are fully up-to-date.
We also conduct our own regulatory checks for our new and seasoned partners, ensuring every recycler within our network is responsible when handling your car.
Once your car has been handed over to the scrapyard, salvagers will carefully assess your vehicle to see which parts are worth reusing and which ones need to be disposed of responsibly. Some scrapyards may choose to fix up your car and resell it, while others will destroy it completely, in which case a Certificate of Destruction is needed.
