Many of us around the country have an old or disused car just sitting around. Whether it be an older model you've been lucky enough to replace with a newer one or a rusty hunk of junk you've kept around for sentimental reasons, there are many explanations as to why you have a car just sitting around gathering dust.

However, it can't be that way forever. When the time comes to get rid of your old car to make space for new and more exciting things, there are many reasons why you should choose a quality scrapping service to do the job for you. Here are just a few of the many benefits that choosing to scrap your car can bring.

Earn money

Scrapping your car can be good when you're strapped for cash. Depending on the model and make of the car, you'll be paid for the metal you're giving to the scrapping company. Of course, be sure to shop around for the best quote first, as some car scrapping companies will offer more than others.

Go green

Scrapping your car means that many of its parts will be recycled. This is great for the environment because it means less waste will go into a landfill, which damages the ozone layer as everything decays - or doesn't. Even more so, reusing the same metal means that less new metal has to be made; this is good because creating new metal also releases gases that damage the earth's protective layer.

Free up space

If your car has been sitting in the garage or out on the drive for a while, it's likely just become something that you no longer notice. However, scrapping it will free up so much space that you forgot you had - even smaller cars can be pretty hefty! This gives you a chance to utilise the newfound space more efficiently, whether it be to peruse a new hobby or to invest in a new car.
