Scrap Car SE11 Kennington exists because scrapping a car shouldn't be complicated. You've got a car in Kennington that's past its best. You want it gone, you want to be paid, and you want the paperwork sorted. That's exactly what we do.
Our flatbed crews are in Kennington regularly — we've collected 148+ vehicles from driveways, car parks, garages, and side streets across the area. We know the tight turnings, the permit zones, and the best times to avoid traffic. It makes a difference.
All cars go through our ATF-licensed facility. Proper depollution. Proper recycling. A proper Certificate of Destruction posted to you within 7 days. No grey areas, no unlicensed operators, no liability left hanging over you.
An Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) is a vehicle processing site licensed by the Environment Agency to legally handle end-of-life vehicles. The licence isn't a rubber stamp — it requires specific equipment for fluid recovery, approved storage for hazardous materials, and ongoing compliance with environmental regulations.
Not all scrap dealers are ATFs. Many operate without the required licences, which means no Certificate of Destruction for you, no DVLA notification, and no guarantee your car isn't being stripped in someone's backyard.
All scrap cars collected by Scrap Car SE11 Kennington in Kennington are processed through our ATF-licensed facility. You get a proper Certificate of Destruction, a clean DVLA record, and the knowledge that your car has been handled legally and responsibly.
The ELV (End of Life Vehicles) Regulations require a minimum 85% recovery rate and 80% recycling rate for every vehicle processed. We consistently exceed these targets — because doing it properly isn't a stretch goal, it's just how the process works when it's done right.
Every car goes through depollution first: all fluids drained and recovered, hazardous materials safely removed, tyres and batteries separated for specialist processing. Then usable parts are salvaged — a working alternator going into another car is better recycling than smelting it down. Finally the shell is shredded, with steel, aluminium, and other metals separated for raw material recycling.
It's not particularly exciting. It's just the right way to do it — and we think that should be the baseline, not a selling point. Every car we collect in Kennington goes through this exact process.
