If you know Take My Scrap Car, you’ll know our interest in responsible recycling borders on obsessive. Like a lot of people these days, we genuinely believe that if you’re going to get a job done, you might as well get it done properly.
Contrary to popular belief, not all car recycling services on the market follow the same rules when it comes to how they handle and process scrap cars. In fact, differences from one service provider to the next can be literally night and day. Which is why it’s a good idea to ensure that whoever you entrust to get your scrap car sorted, it’s a service provider that operates responsibly and professionally.
Here’s a quick rundown of just a few reasons why working with a responsible car recycling service matters:
1 – Sheer Volume
First of all, given the size of the United Kingdom, the fact that somewhere in the region of one million cars are taken off the roads each and every year is both surprising and shocking to say the least. Needless to say, all of these end-of-life vehicles need to be dealt with in one way or another, otherwise we would pretty soon run out of room entirely. If scrap cars are not taken to those who know exactly what to do with them for the greater good, they simply end up sitting on piles up and down the country – rotting and rusting away for eternity.
2 – A Tragic Waste
When you take into account the above point, it’s impossible to deny that what you are looking at is a tragic waste of resources. The simple fact of the matter is that somewhere in the region of 80% of everything that goes into the average car can be recycled and transformed into something new. Which in turn means that for every car that isn’t recycled responsibly, 80% of its materials are going entirely to waste. Resources like scrap metal have never been more precious – it simply makes sense therefore to make better use of them.
3 – Cheaper, More Efficient Materials
Hard to believe as it may be, recycled materials are actually cheaper to produce and more efficient than brand new materials, while at the same time delivering exactly the same properties in terms of strength, versatility and so on. Which in turn means that not only is scrap metal recycling fantastic for the environment, but it can also lead to the production of significantly cheaper products across the board. Long story short – everybody wins!
4 – A Better Deal for You
Last but not least, one of the biggest benefits of ensuring you work with a responsible recycling company like Take My Scrap Car is the way in which it ensures that you personally will get the best possible deal for your scrap car. Unlike some, we promise to pay the best possible price for your vehicle in accordance with scrap values at the time – you simply will not get a better deal than the deal you’ll be offered here at Take My Scrap Car!
