Removal of hazardous materials
All scrap cars contain hazardous waste—such as fuel, engine oil, brake fluid, and batteries. Our trained professionals ensure these are safely removed and disposed of in accordance with environmental standards, protecting both the community and the planet.
-
Stripping down of vehicle parts
As part of our scrap car service, our skilled team carefully dismantles your vehicle. By disassembling each scrap car, we are able to strip down usable car parts, separating metals, plastics, and glass for recycling. This allows us to recover valuable materials while reducing waste and supporting a more sustainable approach to car recycling in Bicester.
-
Recovery of glass and plastic
During the stripping down process, we use advanced technology to extract glass and plastics from each vehicle. Our state-of-the-art facilities allow us to efficiently recover and recycle glass and plastic components. This helps keep waste out of landfills and promotes a circular economy.
-
Disposal of non-recyclable parts
We maximise the recycling potential of every scrap car. While our focus is on reclaiming valuable materials, any non-recyclable parts are disposed of properly via authorised channels. We adhere strictly to UK regulations for scrapping vehicles.

A Certificate of Destruction (CoD) is an official document issued by an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF), confirming your vehicle has been legally scrapped and removed from the DVLA register. L.

Yes. You must notify the DVLA that your vehicle has been scrapped; failure to do so can result in a fine of up to £1,000. You can do this online via the DVLA website using the yellow section of your V5C, or your ATF can do this on your behalf. L. Jarvis & Sons will guide you through this process.

Your vehicle is taken to our Authorised Treatment Facility where hazardous fluids (oil, brake fluid, coolant, and fuel) are safely removed first.
