Getting rid of a vehicle
If you have a vehicle you want to get rid of please contact a scrap dealer. Once the vehicle has been disposed of, ensure you tell the DVLA.
If the vehicle is being disposed of due to a road traffic crash, your insurance will arrange for it to be removed.
Under the Refuse Disposal Amenity (Scotland) Act 1978 dumping a vehicle is an offence carrying a fine of up to £2,500, three months in prison or both.
We have the power to claim costs for removing, storing and getting rid of a vehicle from the person who dumped it.
