A town built for cars, forty years ago
Telford was designated a new town in 1963 as Dawley, renamed in 1968 after the engineer Thomas Telford, and built the way new towns were: distributor roads, roundabouts instead of junctions, and estates strung along them. The M54 arrived in 1983 and joined the lot to the M6. There is no Clean Air Zone anywhere in Shropshire, so an older car costs nothing extra to drive here. It just does the miles, at 40 and 50, between home, Telford Centre and the works. Cars in towns like this wear out rather than rust out. When the next repair bill is more than the car is worth as scrap, that is usually the moment to take a quote.
Did you know? The first iron bridge in the world is three miles from Telford town centre Abraham Darby III cast it at Coalbrookdale and threw it across the Severn between 1777 and 1779: 378 tons of iron in a single 100-foot span, opened on New Year's Day 1781. Nobody had built anything of that size in iron before, and the village that grew around it simply took the bridge's name. It carried road traffic for nearly two centuries, closed to vehicles in 1934, and the gorge around it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986. Every cast-iron structure that followed, and in a roundabout way every steel car body, starts there. |

Scrapping a car in Telford
Your car goes to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility, regulated by the Environment Agency, and you receive a Certificate of Destruction confirming it has been legally recycled. Cash payment for scrap vehicles is banned by law, so payment is made by bank transfer, typically the same day, and the DVLA is notified as standard. The whole sequence is covered in the five steps to scrapping a car, and why people choose us explains the guarantee behind the price. If the vehicle is a van, the take-back page covers those too.
