    Does anyone know a car dismantler or scrap merchant in Athlone who can take away an old car that I need to scrap ? - I've tried Google and the Athlone Advertiser can't find anything there.

    Thanks.

    Tow it to Hammond Lane, they'll even pay you for it.

    Brother got €150 for his old banger a few weeks ago. :D

    If you've any other scrap metal around the place throw it in it. They go by weight. ;)

    Thanks for your reply. It's not taxed though so I can't legally take it onto the roads - I was hoping someone could collect it.

    No problem if it's being towed - it's not an MPV, it is in effect a trailer.

    Just make sure that the tow rope is strong enough - clothes line will NOT do!! :D

    Hammond Lane is the only place to go! :)

    Thanks - That's where I went. They gave me 120 Euros for the car.

    I'm just very surprised that there's nobody in a town the size of Athlone prepared to collect old cars - It's a nuisance having to arrange for someone to tow the car out to Hammond Lane.

    Shame that it's already scrapped, I have a friend in school who has a father that does scrapping, They are out in Garrycastle, their name is Devery.
