Climate change is a growing problem across the UK. In Greater Manchester, air pollution is rising due to high-emission vehicles travelling there.
Manchesters Clean Air Zone is not yet active, however a lot of residents are upgrading to lower emission vehicles to avoid fines before they come into place!
This and other Low Emission Zones (LEZ) in the UK have been made to push people to switch to cleaner vehicles to reduce air pollution and prepare road users for the banned sale of new petrol and diesel cars in 2035.
To ensure that road users can travel through its clean air zone, Greater Manchester has received government funding to help people and businesses transition to low-emission vehicles as quickly as possible.
Due to the pressure to switch to electric vehicles, knowing what to do with old petrol and diesel cars in Manchester can take a lot of work.
Luckily, Scrap Local’s reliable agents can collect all kinds of scrap cars in Manchester including those which fail to meet the latest emission standards.

Do you need your V5C to scrap your car?,You don’t need a log book (V5C) to scrap your car with Scrap Local’s Mancunian agents. We can remove and crush your vehicle without this document.
However, if you can locate your V5C, then please provide us with it. Admittedly, this document will make scrapping your car less hassle for you and our vehicle buyers in Manchester.
Once an agent has arrived to collect your car, give them your V5C and keep the yellow slip they remove from it. You’ll need to notify DVLA that you’ve scrapped your car with the information they write or stamp on this section of your log book.
At Scrap Local we aim to make scrapping cars a simple process for everyone and will guide you through the paperwork required to remove vehicles from Manchester. If you don’t have your vehicle log book, then ask our head office team or the collection agent for the details you need to inform DVLA.
Alternatively, you can request for a Certificate of Destruction (COD) to be sent to your email address when you book your car in for collection with us. This document is definitive proof that your car has been scrapped in Manchester with a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF). Please send a signed copy of your COD to DVLA once you receive it.
