Abandoned Vehicles
Disposing of end-of-life vehicles can be a burden, but ELV Ltd is an expert in its field, providing a professional, licensed service.
We use systems and procedures that have been developed and refined since the introduction of end-of-life legislations. Local Authorities we do business with have a professional service that is responsive and flexible, as well as providing all the management information reporting needed for performance monitoring.
- Cars can no longer just be "scrapped", as per the Environment Agency Regulations
- Cars have to be de-polluted in accordance with UK and EU legislation
- 85% of car materials have to be recycled. Soon, 95% of all materials will have to be recycled.
Cars are abandoned and left on:
- Streets
- Car parks
- Waste ground
- Woods
- School and university grounds
- Streams
- and Parks...
Abandoned vehicles are unsightly, a nuisance and can be a hazard. They diminish our living environment and can cause direct pollution by leaking. The solution is NOT to "ditch it"!
