Scrap your car in CR2.

CR2 is a Royal Mail district that takes in South Croydon, Selsdon, and Sanderstead, all within the London Borough of Croydon. The postcode spreads south from South Croydon station down to the wooded edges near Selsdon Park and the borders with Surrey, and the roads here are a mix of suburban avenues, cul-de-sacs, and the occasional steeper hill. The A235 cuts through the middle, carrying traffic south toward Coulsdon and the M25, and most of the pickups we do here happen on the quieter residential roads off it. Parking is less restricted than the inner boroughs, but a car that's SORN'd on a public road still draws attention, and most owners call us before the council does.

The ULEZ boundary runs north of here, so CR2 sits just outside the daily charge zone, but plenty of drivers in South Croydon have decided to scrap an older vehicle rather than risk future expansions or the cost of keeping a car that no longer starts. We collect across the whole district, from the streets around Sanderstead station up to the South Croydon shopping parade, and our drivers know the A23 and the South Circular well enough to plan around the peak-hour crawl. Quote by phone in under five minutes, paperwork sorted the same day, payment by bank transfer before the truck pulls away.
