Hazardous Materials from scrap vehicle

It should be borne in mind that there are a multitude of parts that go into making a car and many of them are not particularly environmentally friendly. There are certain rules and regulations that govern the disposal of hazardous materials such as oil and brake fluids to prevent people dumping them in the normal way they would get rid of household waste. The Environment Agency treats the disposal of toxic waste materials very seriously.

Certificate Of Destruction

When a scrap yard has an Authorised Treatment Facility permit (ATF) you know that your car will be disposed of legally and professionally by adhering to the End of Life Vehicle guidelines and environmental regulations. This process is essential because a Certificate of Destruction can only be issued by an Authorised Treatment Facility. This is a certificate which is proves that you are no longer responsible for the scrap vehicle and that it has been destroyed in an environmentally responsible way.

Additionally as an Authorised Treatment Facility permit holder he must ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place that prevents waste materials such as car fluids polluting rivers and streams.

There are many unregulated car scrap dealers who try to save costs by avoiding the huge expense of becoming licensed by the Environment Agency who insist on dedicated premises and equipment.
