It provides an online service for selling old cars of any condition, offering instant quotes, free collection and payment by bank transfer.

CarTakeBack states it is the official scrap car recycling partner to many car makers and has recycled over 8,313,575 vehicles.
History
CarTakeBack launched in 2005 and is the UK's largest scrap car recycling network, with over 300 branches across the country. It was established by a group of environmentally responsible shredders to enable vehicle manufacturers and recyclers to comply with statutory environmental and reporting obligations introduced as a result of end-of-life vehicle legislation. This initial objective led to providing a service directly to the public for disposing of old cars correctly. NA International was selected to create and manage the company and became a shareholder in 2010. The current CarTakeBack shareholders are Clearway Group, NA International and S. Norton.
