How much is a scrap car worth in Liverpool?

Scrap value depends on the car's kerb weight, its catalytic converter or DPF and its condition, not on where you live. Around 30% of privately kept cars in Liverpool are diesel, and many of those carry a DPF that we price separately. Enter your registration above for an instant estimate, or see current ranges on our scrap car prices page.

Which areas near Liverpool do you also collect from?

The closest areas we cover are Wavertree (about 1.5 miles away), West Derby (about 2.2 miles away), Childwall (about 2.5 miles away), Aintree (about 3.5 miles away), Allerton (about 3.5 miles away). If you are unsure whether your postcode is covered, call 07722 935042.

What should I do about an abandoned car in Liverpool?

Liverpool is covered by Liverpool City Council. Report it through Merseyside Police's anti-social behaviour form or on 101. If the police have no interest in the vehicle, they pass the report to the council's City Watch Officers, who make enquiries and contact the registered keeper. If the car is your own and you no longer want it, scrapping it with a licensed ATF avoids that route: we collect for free and issue a DVLA Certificate of Destruction.
