Vehicle lifecycle exists in every vehicle. Even the most trusted cars get inefficient in the course of time, unsafe or too expensive to maintain. And when repair expenses are more than the vehicle itself, the most viable and responsible solution is scrapping. Scraping your old vehicles are however as much about the choice as it is the actual act of scraping your vehicle.
Governments and environmental organisations have in the past years made the point of having vehicles scrapped through approved centres as opposed to using unregulated and informal scrap dealers. Authorised Vehicle Scrapping Facilities (AVSFs) see to it that vehicles are dismantled, recycled and safely, legally and in a friendly manner disposed of.
At We Junk Cars Express, we adhere to industry-compliant practices in order to assist vehicle owners to dispose of their old cars efficiently, legal and with full peace of mind.
What Are Authorised Vehicle Scrapping Centres?
Authorised scrapping centers are government approved plants, which have set of strict guidelines on how the vehicle dismantling, recycling and disposals should be carried out. To manage the end-of-life vehicles, these facilities are furnished with appropriate tools, skilled professionals and processes that are environmentally friendly.
In contrast to unofficial scrapyards, official centres:
- Practice good documentation and adherence
- Follow environmental and safety regulations’
- Make sure that hazardous materials are disposed of in a responsible manner
- Official certificates of scrapping
The importance of the choice of an authorised center
- Legal Compliance
Selling your car in a recognized facility is a sure way to make the sale of your car a legal obligation. You are awarded with a Certificate of Destruction, which formally states that the vehicle has been scrapped. This ensures that you are not held liable by any form of law in the future, in relation to misuse of your vehicle registration.
- Environmental Responsibility
Motor vehicles’ have dangerous substances such as engine oil, coolant, batteries and fuel remnants. Certified facilities observe appropriate recycling and disposal methods to avoid soil, air and water pollution.
- Protection of Data and Identity
The registration information of your car is associated with your identity. Official scrappers guarantee safe processing of documents and appropriate deregistration – minimizing the risk of fraud or abuse.
- Maximized Value Recovery
Professional facilities do scientific evaluation on your vehicle and give fair values in terms of reusable parts, metal weight and current scrap rates.
- Safe Dismantling Practices
Vehicles are dismantled by certified technicians with the help of specialized equipment – which reduces chances of accidents or improper handling.
Things to consider before scrapping your vehicle
