Vehicle Disposal Yorkshire

Every vehicle will come to the end of its life at some point and this could be for various reasons or simply just old age. Unfortunately accidents, vandalism and general wear and tear are common reasons why vehicles are classed as End of Life Vehicles (ELVS), meaning they are no longer road worthy and require specific treatment when it comes to their disposal.

There are many things to consider when it comes to vehicle disposal, every ELV treatment site should have set procedures and be fully authorised to handle ELVs. Vehicles are made up of many components and create a lot of waste that can be harmful to both humans and the environment if left untreated. There is an ELV Directive in place that requires all ELV treatment sites to comply with environmental standards, minimise the amount of waste generated and recover, reuse and recycle waste where possible, treating and disposing of vehicles correctly.

Vehicles must be treated in a way that is consistent with relevant rules and regulations or the disposal company and you may face potential fines. There are strict procedures to follow that take care of the toxic substances and remove positive components so they can be reused, leaving minimal or no harm to the environment. It is essential that ELV treatment companies are fully licensed and capable of disposing of vehicles responsibly.
