Want to scrap your van?

The scrap metal market from your van is calculated based on a van’s weight – usually per ton. The value of scrap metal can fluctuate depending on how the market is performing, which will directly affect the quote you’re offered. 

We scrap vans in a similar way to scrapping cars, and your van can be collected or brought to one of our branches at a time that suits you. We’ll quote your van regardless of its condition too!
