Unwanted and abandoned vehicles

We have a service to deal with unwanted vehicles. This came about following the huge success of a month-long amnesty on unwanted and abandoned cars in November 2007. This service is designed to be proactive and hopefully will reduce the costs we incur dealing with abandoned vehicles around the city.

If you would like an unwanted vehicle removed

Come into the Customer Services Agency. We will need to include a photocopy of your drivers' license with your application.

While there is no charge for this service, you have to sign the vehicle over to us and it will be de-registered and disposed of. We will do  checks to ensure that you are the owner and can sign over ownership.

We will contact you to organise collection of the vehicle. Your vehicle can be in any condition as long as it has no rubbish in it. It can be on your property, as long as a tow truck can get to it easily.
