Scrap Car Removal & Recycling

When a car reaches the end of its useful life, the responsible and rewarding option is professional scrap car removal. iCar Removals is Perth's leading scrap car and recycling service, offering cash payments for end-of-life vehicles across the entire Perth Metropolitan Area. Our process combines environmental responsibility with maximum financial return for you. We recycle over 90 percent of every vehicle we collect, ensuring that toxic fluids are disposed of safely and that metals, plastics, and reusable components are recovered and repurposed. Every year, thousands of vehicles in Western Australia reach a point where they are no longer viable to repair, insure, or register. Many of these cars sit on driveways, in backyards, or in storage yards, gradually deteriorating and posing environmental risks from leaking fluids and degrading materials. iCar Removals provides a solution that benefits both you and the local environment. We come to your Perth property, remove the scrap vehicle at no cost, and pay you cash based on the current scrap metal market value. Our scrap car removal service is built on a foundation of environmental compliance. All fluids including engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, coolant, and fuel are extracted and disposed of according to Western Australian environmental regulations. The vehicle is then systematically dismantled at our facility, with metals separated by type and processed for recycling. Plastics, rubber, glass, and other materials are sorted and directed to appropriate recycling streams. This approach minimises landfill waste and maximises resource recovery. The financial side is straightforward. We evaluate your scrap car based on its weight, the current price of steel, copper, aluminium, and other recoverable metals, and the availability of any reusable parts. You receive a cash offer that reflects these factors, and we pay you on the spot when we collect the vehicle. There is no fee for pickup anywhere in the Perth metro area. Call (08) 6187 5519 to discuss your scrap car with our Perth team. We provide immediate quotes and can arrange collection within the same business day. Whether your vehicle is in Gosnells, Joondalup, Mandurah, or anywhere else in Perth, our service is ready when you are.

The journey of a scrapped vehicle through our recycling facility is methodical and thorough. Once your car arrives at our site, it first enters a quarantine area where all remaining fluids are completely drained. This includes engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid, coolant, windshield washer fluid, and any fuel remaining in the tank. These fluids are collected in sealed containers and transported to licensed hazardous waste processors for treatment and disposal. This step is critical because even small quantities of automotive fluid can contaminate soil and groundwater if released into the environment. After fluid extraction, the vehicle moves to our dismantling bay where our technicians systematically remove components that have resale value. Catalytic converters are carefully removed and processed separately due to the precious metals they contain, including platinum, palladium, and rhodium. Batteries are sent to specialised recycling facilities where the lead and acid are recovered. Usable engines, gearboxes, alternators, starter motors, and electronic control units are tested, cleaned, and catalogued for resale. Even smaller components like mirrors, light assemblies, and interior trim pieces are assessed and retained if they meet our quality standards. The remaining vehicle shell then enters our metal processing line. Ferrous metals, primarily steel from the body and frame, are separated using powerful magnets and sent to steel mills for melting and reforming. Non-ferrous metals including aluminium from engine blocks and wheels, copper from wiring looms and radiators, and brass from various fittings are sorted into individual streams for recycling. Plastics are shredded and directed to appropriate recycling channels, while glass from windows and lights is processed separately. Rubber from tyres and hoses is either recycled or converted to fuel for industrial processes. Our target is to divert over 90 percent of every vehicle from landfill, and we track our recovery rates carefully to maintain this standard. For Perth residents, this recycling process means that by choosing iCar Removals, you are making an environmentally responsible decision that goes beyond simply getting rid of an unwanted car. The scrap value we pay you reflects the recoverable materials in your vehicle, which is why vehicle weight, metal composition, and the presence of high-value components like catalytic converters all influence the offer. Call (08) 6187 5519 to discuss your scrap car with our Perth team. We provide immediate quotes based on current metal prices and can arrange collection from anywhere in the metro area the same day.
