In modern times, it is essential that any mention of scrapping your car should also be linked to tried and tested recycling centres. We all know the environment needs to be better protected than years gone by and we can’t have car scrap lying all over the place. What would Basildon look like if everyone just left their scrap around the town?
Fortunately, in dealing with car scrap we are fully licensed in our waste carrier business. The Basildon local authorities have approved our business as more than capable of dealing with scrap cars, vans and motorbikes. Also, our scrap waste management facilities at our depots are permitted by the authorities to be well above the required standards needed to process car scrap. We treat recycling with extreme importance and also expect to recycle 85% of any transport sent to us in Basildon or elsewhere, for scrap.
In line with keeping our business in compliance with red tape, we go that stretch further and always help our customers’ complete two important sets of paperwork when scrapping a car. The DVLA forms need urgent action if they are to stop charging you for road tax after you have scrapped your car. The certificate of destruction (COD) confirms this action and means you can visit the post office in Basildon or any local post office for a form to reclaim any road tax due to you after you have scrapped your car.
We will be able to collect your scrap car collection if you are in the business of selling spare parts or we can take away your whole vehicle and see what can be saved or recycled.
Basildon sits in the middle of a highly densely populated area covering Southend-on-Sea to the east to Romford in the West. Just north you will find Brentwood, Billericay and Wickford, while travelling south the towns of South Benfleet, Canvey Island and Corringham are just a short journey away, so we’re always close to collect your car scrap.
Basildon General Knowledge
Known in history as a new town in 1948, it was nominated after the Second World War to help the people who needed to leave London and other areas. The combination of four villages; Pitsea, Basildon, Vange and Laindon; the town still increases in population due to its location and healthy economy. Basildon’s three train stations move people to London in half an hour.
In reality, the town goes back to the Anglo-Saxon era. Latterly, Basildonians have erected a Hollywood style sign to welcome people to their town.
Basildon, because of the timing of its rise from undeveloped land, was able to open up to one of the UK’s first and largest transport free shopping areas.
80’s band Depeche Mode and singer Alison Moyet hail from Basildon as do actresses Denise Van Outen and Joan Sims.
