Next to the yards
Wishaw is five minutes from Motherwell along the A721, and the licensed yards that make Lanarkshire the best-served part of Scotland are on the doorstep. Most ML2 cars get more than one quote; the site shows the highest and that yard collects, usually next working day.
The town and the villages
Wishaw is the town centre, the schemes at Coltness, Craigneuk and Pather, and the older streets around the station; Newmains, Overtown, Cambusnethan and Waterloo are villages to the east and south, Shotts further out on the M8. Kerbside in the older streets, drives on the schemes — both routine. Let the collector know where the car is parked and whether it moves.
What comes from ML2
Family cars at the end of the MOT and vans from the Wishaw and Newmains estates. Vans up to 3.5 tonnes are priced from the registration and can be invoiced; whether the car has failed its MOT, stopped starting or been written off, it is priced on the metal and the parts that are there.
Paid, licensed, done
You are paid by bank transfer, within 24 hours of collection, into the registered keeper's account; cash has been off the table in Scotland since 2016. As an Authorised Treatment Facility the collector issues the Certificate of Destruction, and with it the DVLA record is closed and your tax and insurance liability ends. No logbook is fine.
How it works

Questions
What people in Wishaw ask
Is Shotts covered with Wishaw?
Yes — Shotts in ML7 is priced with Wishaw, Newmains, Overtown and Cambusnethan in ML2.
How quickly can a Wishaw car go?
Usually next working day — the Lanarkshire yards are a few miles away. The collector rings after you accept to agree the time.
Can I be paid cash?
No — Scotland banned cash for scrap in 2016. The collector pays the registered keeper by bank transfer within 24 hours of collection.
When could you collect from Wishaw?
Quickly — the collector who takes Wishaw jobs is based nearby, not the other end of the country. Accept the price, they ring to agree a day, and the driver confirms before setting off.
Is there a collection fee in Wishaw?
No. Collection is free: the price on your quote is the price the collector pays, with the truck built in across ML2, ML7. It only changes if the car turns out to be missing something you told us it had.
Can you scrap it without the logbook?
Yes. Photo ID and proof of address are what the collector is required to check; the V5C is a bonus. Every collector on the network is an Authorised Treatment Facility, so the Certificate of Destruction and the DVLA notification follow either way.
How do you pay?
By bank transfer to the registered keeper, sent by the collector within 24 hours of collection. Cash is not an option — it has been illegal for scrap vehicles since 2013.
