Scraping unused car

ImDave

Hi all,

Apologies if this has been posted recently, couldnt find anything.

I have a 2000 Fiat Punto with busted engine (had 140k on it), which I have just left around the side of the house. Its not worth repairing, and isnt driving at all, so I was wondering how you go about scraping it? Do you pay to scrap it, or will someone pay you something to take it and break it?

Any info appreciated.

You have to pay like €50 for them to tow it away for you. Has to be scrapped in an environmentally friendly recycley way, so there's only a handful of officially appointed centres (Authorised Treatment Facilities) who can do it. (End-of-Life Vehicle Bill or something)

I had mine scrapped by Thornton's Recycling, but for the life of me can't remember the several different people I phoned to get it done. I think it was a specifically-appointed towtruck company who charge you €50 to take it to Thorntons, where they scrap it and are paid by the City Council, or something like that.

If you can get it there yourself you don't have to pay the €50, obviously.

As I said, can't remember the full rigmarole, but if you contact Thorntons they'll be able to tell you.

Actually, more I think about it, contact your Fiat dealer and ask them. They'll be able to tell you.
