Morning all, apologies for the boring nature of this question but it's been so long since I scrapped a car I don't know what the situation is now. A friend of mine needs to dispose of a Ford Ka which I was going to drive down the scrapyard when I get a spare minute, however does she need to be present as the V5 is in her name or will they be able to just pay me? thanks

No, she doesn't need to be present, so you are fine to take it. However, scrap yards don't deal in cash anymore. Wherever you take it, you'll need to open an account with ID. They'll then pay you by cheque or in some cases, put it on a debit card.
Hope this helps. Scrap price is really low at the minute too.

So the name on the V5 doesn't have to match the cheque/account? that's cool, thanks. Not too fussed about price just as long as I get the battery back which I fitted last month and never got paid for.

My local place said I needed a photo driving licence as ID. I thought it was only that they wern't allowed to pay out cash now so I don't know if this is the same everywhere. Possibly worth asking the place you are taking it to.

Both places i use want to see photo id and it has to match the name on the v5.

Photo ID is needed to open an account. Certainly every place I use needs you to open an account in order to get paid. They will make the cheque payable to whatever name the account is in.
I scrap between 5 & 10 cars a month, and the V5 has never been in my name. In fact, if it`s just scrap metal you`re weighing it in as, they don`t even need the V5. If you need a certificate of destruction for the DVLA though, the yard would need the V5.
It might be that not all scrap yards operate in the same way, but the 5 I`ve used locally have all worked in this way.

It might be because your trade but i have to show photo id everytime wether its a bag of copper pipe or a car. And neither will take one without the v5. Ive been going to both places for over ten years at least afew times a month too so I'm on good terms with them.

It is now law, the scrapyard have to see photo identity and will pay by cheque, the V5 doesn't need to be in the sellers name, if it did how would the scrap dealers scrap cars?.
The scrapyard will take the V5 and stamp the new owners section and the you will receive a COD in the post.
If you are driving it to the scrapyard the car still has to be taxed. MOt'd and have its own insurance policy in force (even if you have driving other cars on your insurance the car itself still need to have its own policy unless you are driving on a traders policy), if you are stopped by the police they won't except 'I'm driving to the scrapyard' as an excuses.
