Scrap Cars East Runton

Home to a resident population of approximately 1,600, the sleepy little village of East Runton owes its origins to a sterling local fishing trade. As of today, much of the village’s economy is built around spring and summer tourism, at which time this tiny little village explodes in both numbers and liveliness. Occupying a prime location on the coast, it’s hardly surprising it’s such a magnet with tourists!

When we’re asked why it is that what we do is so important, we can basically sum it up in two statistics…which are as follows:

1 Million Cars Every Year

First of all, the UK may come across as pretty tiny, but in terms of how many cars we get through…well, you might be in for a shock. Every year without fail, somewhere in the region of 1 million cars are taken off the UK roads, never to return. That’s tens of thousands of cars every month, which of course have to be disposed of in one way or another.

Traditionally, your East Runton scrap car would have found its way into some sort of heap somewhere, with the harrowing prospect of being left to rust and rot for eternity. In an era where such vast numbers of cars are taken off the road each year however, this just isn’t possible. It wouldn’t be long before the whole country would be overflowing with when it comes to the wastage, it’s almost too much to even think about.

85% Recyclable

As for the second statistic, the average car is made up of metallic components that are recyclable to the tune of 85%. That’s 85% of every car being recycled and put back into the system as something brand new and awesome. And when you think about this on the scale of things these days, it really is an astonishing stockpile of raw materials that just have to be used.

Recycle your East Runton scrap car and it could be brought back to life as almost anything imaginable. Who knows – maybe your paths will cross again one day!

EU regulations are really quite strict when it comes to vehicle recycling, which is why it’s important to only ever work with those who follows such rules to the letter. There are thousands of scrapyard and centres across the UK, but not all are performing to the same elite standards as others.
