Why Preparing Your Vehicle Matters Before Collection

Taking the time to prepare your vehicle helps us work more efficiently. Clear preparation reduces delays during collection and streamlines the dismantling and recycling process. It also safeguards essential components, making the entire process smoother for everyone involved.

Clear Out Personal Belongings

Before collection, carefully inspect the vehicle for personal belongings. Check under seats, in glove compartments, and in hidden storage areas. Removing all valuables prevents accidental loss and ensures the car is ready for recycling without delays.

Organise Paperwork and Proof of Ownership

Having the correct documentation ready is vital to avoid legal complications during vehicle recycling. Providing clear proof of ownership speeds up the process and ensures compliance with local regulations. These documents also confirm that the transfer of the vehicle is legitimate and final.

Essential paperwork includes:

• Proof of ownership – Provide registration documents or a receipt to verify that you are the legal owner of the vehicle being recycled.

• Valid photo identification – Present a driver’s licence or other government-issued ID to confirm your identity during the transfer process.

• Completed transfer forms – Ensure all transfer forms are filled out accurately and signed to finalise the change of ownership.

• Insurance cancellation paperwork – Submit the necessary documents to cancel your vehicle insurance and prevent future payments.

• Outstanding finance documents – If there is still finance owing on the vehicle, supply the appropriate documents to resolve any legal or financial obligations.
