Environmentally Responsible Auto Recycling
Vehicles contain a mix of valuable metals and materials, along with fluids and components that need careful handling. Our auto recycling process follows responsible environmental practices, removing oils, coolant, and batteries safely before recovering the maximum amount of reusable metal and parts, keeping end-of-life vehicles out of landfill.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Do you buy vehicles that don't run?
Yes. We accept vehicles in any condition, including those that are damaged, written off, unregistered, or no longer running. Our team will still assess the vehicle and make a fair cash offer.
How much can I get for auto recycling my vehicle?
The value depends on the make, model, age, condition, and weight of the vehicle, along with current metal prices. Recoverable parts such as the engine, alloy wheels, and catalytic converter can also add to the value.
Do you offer free vehicle collection in Melbourne?
In most cases, yes. We can arrange to collect your vehicle from your home or workplace across Melbourne, so you don’t need to organise your own towing.
What happens to my vehicle after it's recycled?
Your vehicle is drained of fluids, stripped of reusable parts and recoverable metals, and the remaining shell is processed as scrap metal. This ensures the maximum value is recovered and minimises environmental impact.
Do I need my registration papers to recycle my car?
It’s best to bring proof of ownership, such as your registration papers or a certificate of roadworthiness exemption, when handing over your vehicle. Our team can advise on exactly what’s needed for your situation when you get in touch.
How quickly can I get my vehicle recycled?
We aim to arrange collection or drop-off as quickly as possible, often within a day or two of your initial enquiry, depending on demand and location.
