Vehicle auctions brought to you by Raw2K

Recycling Lives runs RAW2K, an online auction site that works with local authorities and insurers to dispose of both roadworthy and breaker-only vehicles.

With more than 15 years’ experience managing the disposal, de-fleet, salvage and scrappage of vehicles, we are trusted by police forces across the UK and several major insurers to generate competitive returns for their vehicles.

We offer nationwide collection services, storing accident damaged and un-damaged second-hand cars at fully licenced Authorised Treatment Facilities (ATF) across the UK. All saleable vehicles are then auctioned on our online site where 38,000 registered and audited members have the chance to bid on them. All unsaleable vehicles are recycled at our authorised recycling facilities

In addition, RAW2K’s services directly support and sustain Recycling Lives’ charitable activities, creating real social value through job creation; offender rehabilitation; supported accommodation for marginalised individuals; and redistributing surplus food to charitable organisations across Lancashire and Cumbria.

  • Generate returns on second-hand and breaker-only vehicles through our online auction site
  • Recycle unsaleable vehicles at an authorised treatment facility
  • Create real social value supporting marginalised individuals into employment
