There comes a time in the life of every car when the decision must be made as to how to dispose of the thing in the most appropriate manner. Of course, the first and most obvious pair of answers that come to mind are sell it or scrap it – usually in that exact order. […]
Like it or not, it’s the job of EU regulators to periodically revisit recycling standards and decide that the efforts being made on the whole are not sufficient. It’s only by constantly raising the bar that Europe and indeed the UK can hope to eventually reach a level where recycling efficiency is as close to […]
There are some that would have you believe that car scrapping and recycling services are all much of a muchness – as in it really doesn’t matter who you go to with your old car. Given the fact that most motorists will only ever scrap a couple of cars at the most during their lifetime, […]
