If you have a non-running commercial vehicle and come from Coulsdon, sourcing a buyer can be difficult. Private buyers want vehicles they can drive away and traders only offer very low prices once they see faults. That is where Scrap Cars R Us can step in to help. We offer a scrap car collection and scrap van collection service in Coulsdon.
We focus on vehicles that cannot be driven or repaired economically.
When you don’t have the option to “Sell my Car” or “Sell my Van” in the resale market, you can “Scrap my Car” or “Scrap my Van” instead.
We exchange cars for cash and also accept commercial vehicles of all makes, models and sizes. If you cannot sell your ELV through normal channels, then scrapping it is often the most practical option.
In much the same way as we offer a scrap car disposal and scrap car recycling service in Coulsdon, we can also do this for commercials.

Scrap Car Collection vs Scrap Van Collection
Scrap car collection and scrap van collection follows the same legal framework, but there are several differences you need to understand. A scrap car is usually lighter, simpler to dismantle and quicker to process. A scrap van, or commercial ELV, is heavier and often built for high loads. This affects handling, depollution and recycling.
The differences between “Scrap my Car” and “Scrap my Van” include:
Scrapping a van requires additional steps and equipment compared to our standard car disposal and car recycling services in Coulsdon.
How a Commercial ELV is Depolluted
All vehicles collected in Coulsdon must be treated at an authorised facility. For a commercial ELV, depollution is a critical stage.
The process includes:
Because vans hold more fluids, this stage takes longer than standard car disposal and car recycling. Proper depollution helps to protect the environment, and it ensures full compliance with UK regulations.
Breaking Down and Recycling Scrap Vans
Once depolluted, the van moves to dismantling. Reusable parts may be removed if demand exists. The shell is then prepared for shredding. Aluminium and steel, and other scrap metals in an ELV, are separated and recycled. A commercial vehicle produces higher metal yields than a car. This contributes to the value you receive when using a “Scrap my Van” service which isn’t possible if you “Sell my Van” privately.
Our customers in Coulsdon appreciate our transparent approach.
Car recycling and van recycling both aim to recover as much material as possible and modern facilities achieve recovery rates of over 95 percent by weight. This makes a scrap car collection, or a scrap van collection, one of the most effective forms of vehicle recycling.
