End of Life Vehicles
If you wish to scrap your vehicle you are required by law to deposit your car with a vehicle recycling facility Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) for recycling. A vehicle recycling facility is obliged to take back your car free of charge. There may be a small charge to collect your vehicle.
The vehicle recycling facility is obliged in accordance with The European Union (End-Of-Life Vehicles) Regulations 2014 to issue you with a Certificate of Destruction, confirming the car will be recycled and recovered, ending your responsibility for the vehicle.
Please note if you deposit your car to anywhere else other than ATF, you are liable to a fixed payment notice from the Local Authority.
