Scrap my car
in Dunfermline
Dunfermline is across the Forth from Edinburgh and the north-east edge of our Scottish coverage: KY12 for the town and the villages west of it, KY11 for the south side, Rosyth, Inverkeithing and Dalgety Bay. Yards from the Edinburgh side quote for it over the bridge, and the run is already in the price.

Over the bridge
Dunfermline is twenty minutes from the Edinburgh yards' patch across the Queensferry Crossing, and that is where most quotes for KY11 and KY12 come from. Coverage in Fife depends on which yards are on the network at the time, so the site tells you straight away whether a collector covers your postcode — before you accept anything, not after.
The town and the south side
Dunfermline itself is the old town centre, the estates at Abbeyview, Touch and Duloch, and the newer housing on the east side; Rosyth, Inverkeithing and Dalgety Bay sit along the coast; Crossford, Cairneyhill and Oakley are the villages to the west. Drives and estates for the most part, with on-street parking in the old town — tell the collector where the car is and whether it rolls.
Cars from Fife
Family cars at the end of the MOT, the odd pick-up from the villages, and vans from the Pitreavie and Rosyth estates. Vans up to 3.5 tonnes are priced from the registration and can be invoiced; the yards price a non-runner or an MOT failure on weight and parts, and a write-off the same way.
Scottish paperwork
The collector is a licensed Scottish metal dealer and Authorised Treatment Facility. The registered keeper is paid by bank transfer within 24 hours of collection — cash for scrap has been illegal in Scotland since 2016 — and the Certificate of Destruction is issued with the DVLA told you are no longer the keeper. No logbook is fine. Identity is what the law cares about — photo ID and proof of address do it.

Reviews
What people say afterwards
Highly professional and recommendable from start to finish. Collected my vehicle and paid within a few hours, and the collection driver was absolutely brilliant. Can’t recommend them enough and if I ever have to scrap a car again won’t hesitate to use them. Paid the best price too!
Great customer service and very professional. They made the whole experience easy as I had never done anything like this before and contacted me promptly to arrange collection. I received a great price for the car too. Would highly recommend.
Absolutely hassle free just as advertised. Quick service, fast pay. Peace of mind.
Questions
What people in Dunfermline ask
Do you cover Rosyth and Inverkeithing?
Yes — Rosyth, Inverkeithing and Dalgety Bay are in KY11 and priced with Dunfermline.
Is Fife always covered?
Not guaranteed — it depends which Scottish yards are on the network at the time. Enter your postcode and the site confirms whether a collector covers it before you accept a price.
Is there a charge for the bridge?
Not as a separate item. Where a collector covers KY11 or KY12, the run is already in their price; what you accept online is what is paid into your bank.
How soon can you get to Dunfermline?
Most Dunfermline collections happen within a day or two of booking. The yard that collects is local, rings you to fix the day, and confirms the morning or afternoon before the driver leaves.
Do you charge for collection in Dunfermline?
No. Collection is free — the lorry, the driver and the fuel are the collector's cost anywhere in KY11, KY12, and nothing comes off the price on the day unless the car is not as you described it.
What if I have lost the V5C?
You can still scrap the car. The law asks the yard to check who you are, not to see the logbook, so photo ID and proof of address are what matter. The Authorised Treatment Facility that takes the car issues the Certificate of Destruction and updates the DVLA record.
Do you pay cash?
No, and no licensed yard legally can: the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 bans cash for scrap vehicles. The collector pays by bank transfer to the registered keeper within 24 hours of collection.
