You can get it towed to a junkyard and they will even pay you a little bit for it, probably enough to at least pay for the towing costs. Otherwise, I’m sure you can arrange something with your council.

Is that true? I would expect that most junkyards would charge you both for towing and scrapping the car.

(Granted, nowadays, due to the supply chain issues and component shortages, people will pay an arm and a leg for a car that even barely runs, so there's that.)

They won't tow it for you. But they will usually pay for your car if it's in any reasonable condition, though not a lot. Maybe it's different in different countries
