When disposing of your vehicle remember to always check that the breaker or garage you are working with is accredited. One of easiest ways is to make sure the breaker gives you an ELV (End of Life Vehicle) certificate. Only accredited garages can issue these, after rigorous inspection from both local councils and environmental agencies.
You may not think this is an important but thousands of vehicles and spare parts are dumped each year, tyres being the most dumped item. These must be disposed of properly by the government and local authorities, costing you the tax payer money. It’s estimated that the government spends well over £1 million of tax payers money every year correctly disposing of dumped vehicles.
