Up the M9 from Falkirk
Most quotes for Stirling come from the collectors that work Falkirk and Grangemouth, twenty minutes down the motorway — the busiest Scottish area in our records. Coverage this far north depends on which yards are on the network at the time, so enter your postcode and the site tells you straight away whether one covers it.
The city and the villages
Stirling is the old town under the castle, Raploch, the estates at Cornton and Braehead, St Ninians and Bannockburn to the south, and Bridge of Allan and Dunblane to the north. Drives and semis mostly, with on-street parking in the old town and Raploch. Say where the car stands and whether it will roll when you book.
Cars from FK7 to FK15
Family cars at the end of the MOT, student runabouts from the university side, and vans from the Springkerse and Kerse Road 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.
The rules in Scotland
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 banned in Scotland since 2016 — the Certificate of Destruction is issued and the DVLA is told you are no longer the keeper. No V5C? The driver checks photo ID and proof of address instead.

Reviews
What people say afterwards
Fantastic experience from enquiry through to collection. Payment made promptly and the communication was excellent. Highly recommended.
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.
Questions
What people in Stirling ask
Do you cover Dunblane and Bridge of Allan?
Yes — FK9 and FK15 are priced with Stirling, Bannockburn and St Ninians, subject to a collector covering them at the time; the site confirms before you accept.
How long does a Stirling collection take to arrange?
Usually one to three days. The collector rings to agree the day and the driver confirms before setting off.
Is collection free this far north?
Where a collector covers the postcode, yes — the run is already in their price. Any distance charge would be shown separately before you accept, so what you see is what you get.
How quickly can you collect a scrap car in Stirling?
Usually within one to three days. Your collector is a licensed yard local to Stirling, so once you accept the price they ring you — normally within a couple of hours — to agree a day, and again before setting off.
Is collection in Stirling really free?
Yes. The collector's price already includes the recovery truck, so there is nothing to pay anywhere in Stirling (FK7, FK8, FK9, FK15), and the figure you accept is the figure paid into your bank.
Do I need the V5C logbook?
It helps, but you can still scrap the car without it. The collector checks your photo ID and proof of address instead, and because every yard on the network is an Authorised Treatment Facility, the Certificate of Destruction is issued and the DVLA is told you are no longer the keeper.
Can I get cash for my scrap car?
No — paying cash for scrap vehicles has been illegal in England and Wales since 2013, and in Scotland since 2016. Your collector pays by bank transfer to the registered keeper within 24 hours of collection.
