- [How does the auto recycling process work?](https://gpmetalsandspares.upcomingbrand.com/how-does-the-auto-recycling-process-work/): Legislation dictates that 95 per cent of a car has to be recycled when it’s scrapped; we follow the hi-tech process… To many people, recycling cars can seem like a bit of a mystery. Just how much work is involved in breaking down such a complicated machine into material that can actually be re-used? Well, here’s how: The fluids need to be completely drained. Cars contain a number of fluids that can be dangerous to the environment: petrol, oil, antifreeze, brake and transmission fluids as well as a number of different lubricants. These liquids are stored and then shipped to processing […]
- [What paperwork will I need to scrap my car?](https://gpmetalsandspares.upcomingbrand.com/what-paperwork-will-i-need-to-scrap-my-car/): It’s vital to have the right paperwork before you scrap your car. You’ll need: The vehicle logbook (V5C) – you can’t scrap your car without this, as it proves the car belongs to you, and stops any unauthorised sales. Make sure you keep the yellow slip from it (V5C/3) and ensure you get a receipt from the ATF. A Certificate of Destruction (CoD) should then be posted or emailed to you within a week. This is a DVLA certificate that proves you’ve had the car recycled, and absolves you of any future responsibility for it. How much will I get for selling my car for […]
- [Scrap Car or Salvage Car – What is the Difference?](https://gpmetalsandspares.upcomingbrand.com/scrap-car-or-salvage-car-what-is-the-difference/): Something people are often confused about is what the difference is between a salvage car and a scrap car. Let’s try and clear things up a bit… A scrap car is what may also be called an End of Life Vehicle or ELV. These are usually more than 10 years old and don’t have any parts that are worth reusing. If you choose to scrap your car, the entire car will be sent for disposal and subsequent recycling. If your car is a scrap car, it will be worth less money than a salvage car and this may make it more difficult […]
- [What is a Certificate of Destruction ](https://gpmetalsandspares.upcomingbrand.com/what-is-a-certificate-of-destruction/): A Certificate of Destruction (CoD) is a document issued by DVLA to a registered Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF). Legally, all cars recycled by an ATF must be issued with a CoD. Legally, all cars which are recycled by an ATF must be issued with a CoD. However not all vehicles collected by ATF’s are recycled, as the DVLA advise it is up to the ATF what they wish to do with the vehicle. Lots of people are confused about what they need to do when they scrap or salvage a car, we hope the following information will help clear things up for […]
- [What to do if your car fails its mot?](https://gpmetalsandspares.upcomingbrand.com/what-to-do-if-your-car-fails-its-mot/): All vehicles require an MOT test when they are more than three years old. This is because the law requires that all drivers ensure that their car has a valid MOT every year. First introduced in the 1960s under the direction of Ernest Marples, the MOT test examines all aspects of a vehicle including its engine parts, lights and breaks to ensure that it is safe to drive. Why? An MOT test is designed to thoroughly examine the overall road safety of a vehicle so that it is not only safe for the driver, but that it is also safe […]

The most frequently recycled metals are aluminum, brass, bronze, cast iron, copper, steel and tin. Metal recycling of both ferrous and non-ferrous metals has many benefits.
