Here at Take My Scrap Car, we are always working hard to get across the importance of what it is we do. We never try to convince our customers that they are ever likely to find the prospect of car scrapping and recycling exciting. Nevertheless, we at least try to share as much information as possible with regard to how important it is to do the right thing, when the time comes to get rid of your old car.

Nevertheless, we also understand that a picture is often worth 1,000 words, which in this instance couldn’t be more accurate. We recently came across a couple of pictures documenting car scrapping efforts in China, which suffice to say make pretty incredible viewing. china-car-scrapping-industry

Right now, the Chinese government is working frantically to find ways and means by which the country’s air pollution crisis can be brought under control. This has meant hundreds of thousands of cars being taken off the roads once and for all, confined to the scrap heap having been declared unsuitable for use. As can be seen above, this has resulted in nothing less than a sea of scrap metal piling up at yards across the country – this one alone now holding more than 100,000 vehicles.

And it’s also the same story when it comes to motorcycles. China remains the biggest producer of motorbikes in the world, rolling out no less than 27,000,000 every single year. The government firmly hopes that by the year 2020, they will have been able to make an enormous difference with regard to exactly how many vehicles on the country’s roads are considered environmentally friendly or otherwise.

Here in the United Kingdom, it is of course unlikely that we will ever have to deal with scrap vehicle volumes in such numbers. Nevertheless, somewhere in the region of 1 million vehicles are taken off British roads each and every year. And when you consider the fact that the pictures here illustrate exactly what 100,000 scrap vehicles look like combined, you begin to get an idea of just exactly how many 1 million vehicles really is.

Which is precisely why Take My Scrap Car comes into the equation. We form an important part in the country’s vehicle recycling chain, proactively seeking, taking and processing cars that are no longer suitable for use. We work hard to make the process as simple as possible for our customers, while at the same time promising to pay the best possible price in accordance with scrap values of the time. We firmly believe that by making the recycling process as quick and easy as possible, it becomes much easier to motivate members of the public to do the right thing.
