There are several different ways you can scrap your car nearby, you can either go to your local scrap metal merchant or you can have your car recycled by an end of life vehicle centre. The scrap metal merchant will simply crush your scrap car and all its components into what they call a cube, this cube is simply then sent to a shredder where it will then be processed for the scrap metal it contains and is probably the most non environmentally friendly way of scrapping your car or van.
You could contact a professional registered end of life vehicle centre who will dispose of your scrap car the most environmentally friendly way according to european regulations of scrap metal disposal.
