If you’ve ever wondered with the name of this pretty little village means, it translates as “Hock/mallow wood and willow-tree farm/settlement”. Certainly pretty, but a bit of a mouthful to say the least. Situated news a number of key USAF bases, Hockwold cum Wilton is popular among plane-spotters and historians alike. Not to mention, those with a taste for a paranormal. Legend has it that several ghosts haunt the village of Hockwold cum Wilton, including the infamous ‘White Lady’ who apparently has a habit of startling and distracting drivers. In addition, the Little Ouse River running by the village is said to be haunted by both a horseman and a group of nuns! Scary stuff, isn’t it?
Whether or not we believe in ghosts ourselves is by the by. However, one thing we do believe in extremely strongly is the importance of responsible vehicle recycling. If you knew just how many scrap vehicles and the resources therein went to waste every year…well, you’d probably have a hard time believing it. Suffice to say, if the vehicle recycling spectrum as a whole were to be optimised to its full potential, the entire car-making industry would be self-sufficient. Or in other words, every new vehicle made would require only recycled materials to manufacture it.
In reality, this is something that probably isn’t going to happen for quite some time. Nevertheless, we like to think that we are at least playing a small part in championing the cause. For many years now, Take My Scrap Car has been providing the people of Norfolk with a uniquely simplified and rewarding approach to vehicle recycling. We’re firm believers that if you make recycling accessible and easy without exception, it’s so much easier to convince the public in general to do the right thing. By contrast, the more complicated or becomes, the less likely people are to recycle.
