Scrap my car
in Kirkintilloch
Kirkintilloch, the canal town, shares G66 with Lenzie next door and with Lennoxtown, Milton of Campsie and Waterside under the Campsie Fells. The district sends a steady flow of cars through the network, and the M80 puts it within reach of collectors on both the Glasgow and the Cumbernauld side.

On the Forth and Clyde Canal
Kirkintilloch grew up on the Forth and Clyde Canal, and calls itself the canal capital of Scotland. Bishopbriggs is the next town towards Glasgow on the A803, and Cumbernauld is beyond Twechar to the east. The M80 is a few minutes south, which keeps the collectors' run short.
Lenzie, the Campsies and the villages
Lenzie is the commuter town on the railway, with semis, villas and drives. Lennoxtown and Milton of Campsie are the villages under the hills, with farms and long tracks beyond them. Kirkintilloch itself mixes older terraces near the Cross with the estates at Harestanes, Hillhead and Merkland. Say where the car is when you book, especially if it is up a farm track.
What the yards see
Astras and Focuses come up most often in G66, followed by Fiestas, 207s, Passats and the odd Transit. Vans up to 3.5 tonnes are priced from the registration and can be invoiced. MOT failures, non-runners and damaged cars are priced the same way as a clean car, less what is missing.
Paid within 24 hours
The collecting yard is an Authorised Treatment Facility and a licensed Scottish metal dealer. It pays the registered keeper by bank transfer within 24 hours of collection and issues the Certificate of Destruction, and the DVLA is told the car has gone. No V5C? Not a problem.

Questions
What people in Kirkintilloch ask
Are Lennoxtown and Milton of Campsie covered?
Yes. Both are in G66 with Kirkintilloch, Lenzie and Waterside, and the whole district is priced.
Is Lenzie on this page or a separate one?
This one. Lenzie is in G66 with Kirkintilloch and is priced the same way.
Can a car be collected from a farm or a long track?
Yes. Tell us about the access when you book, so the collector sends a truck that can reach the car and turn round.
How soon can you get to Kirkintilloch?
Most Kirkintilloch collections happen within a day or two of booking. The yard that collects is local, rings you to fix the day, and confirms the morning or afternoon before the driver leaves.
Do you charge for collection in Kirkintilloch?
No. Collection is free — the lorry, the driver and the fuel are the collector's cost anywhere in G66, and nothing comes off the price on the day unless the car is not as you described it.
What if I have lost the V5C?
You can still scrap the car. The law asks the yard to check who you are, not to see the logbook, so photo ID and proof of address are what matter. The Authorised Treatment Facility that takes the car issues the Certificate of Destruction and updates the DVLA record.
Do you pay cash?
No, and no licensed yard legally can: the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 bans cash for scrap vehicles. The collector pays by bank transfer to the registered keeper within 24 hours of collection.
