Scrap Local’s heard from many Londoners looking to remove their old cars under the Transport for London scrappage scheme.
Made in response to London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), the scrappage scheme for cars is a grant designed to help low income motorists scrap polluting vehicles and transition to eco-friendly methods of transport.
In this guide, you can check whether you’re eligible for the grant and what you need to do to scrap your old set of wheels under TfL’s scrappage scheme for cars. We’ll even show you how to get a Certificate of Destruction (COD) with us!
You can only apply for the scrappage scheme for cars if you and your vehicle meet the following requirements.
You will be asked to prove whether you and your vehicle meet these requirements during the application process.
You can apply for the scrappage scheme for cars on TfL’s website.
If you scrap your old car or motorcycle under this scheme you could receive a grant of £1,000 – £2,000 to purchase a ULEZ compliant vehicle!
Here is the step by step process on how to apply for this scheme:
