Car, Trailer & Scrap Metal Removal — Sydney
Need to get rid of an unwanted car in Sydney? Recycle Corp collects cars that are running or not, registered or unregistered. Send us the vehicle details, photos and collection location for a quote.
We arrange towing and explain the price before you book. Depending on the vehicle, we may pay you by bank transfer or quote a removal fee. There is no call-out fee, and no single price applies to every car.
Unwanted car removal across Sydney
An old car taking up space does not need to be running to start an enquiry. Tell us if it will not start, has been sitting for a long time or is no longer registered. We will discuss its condition and access so the towing arrangements suit the job.
We cover Greater Sydney from our Bankstown yard. Include your suburb and where the car is parked, such as a driveway, street or garage. If access is tight, send a photo of the route to the car as well as the vehicle itself.
How to arrange a car collection
- Send the details. Include the rego, or make, model and year, plus exterior and interior photos.
- Describe the condition and access. Tell us whether it starts, rolls and steers, whether keys are available, and about missing parts, flat tyres, gates or height restrictions.
- Confirm the quote and collection. We explain whether there is a payment to you or a removal fee. Confirm the towing arrangements and an available collection time before booking.
For a more detailed checklist, read preparing a non-running or unregistered car for collection.
What affects a scrap car removal quote?
The make, model, weight, condition and salvageable parts all matter. Collection access also helps us assess the job properly. Photos and an accurate description are more useful than a headline “up to” price that says little about your particular vehicle.
Ask for the complete arrangement: any amount payable to you, any removal charge, what towing includes, and the payment method. Our guide to scrap car value in Sydney explains what information to prepare and how to compare quotes.
When we pay for a scrap vehicle, payment is by bank transfer. NSW Police guidance explains the restrictions on cash payments for scrap metal.
Trailers, boats and scrap metal
We also take enquiries for trailers, boats and scrap metal, including fencing, wire, sheet metal and machinery. Send photos, the location and access details so we can quote the collection.
Car removal questions
Can you collect a car that does not run?
Yes, we collect non-running cars. Tell us the condition and whether the vehicle rolls and steers so we can confirm the towing arrangements. Mention missing wheels, lost keys or difficult access before booking.
Is unwanted car removal free?
There is no blanket free-removal offer. Some cars have value that results in a payment to you; others attract a removal fee. Send the details for a quote specific to your car.
What should I do about registration and number plates?
The right process depends on the transaction and the vehicle's registration status. Our NSW registration and number-plate guide links to Service NSW so you can check the requirements before handover.
When can my car be collected?
Contact us with your suburb, car details and preferred timing to check availability. Our hours are Monday to Friday, 6:00am–4:00pm. We reply to enquiries within one business day.
