Abandoned Vehicles
When a vehicle is abandoned on public land, the onus is on the local authority to have it removed. This is a huge burden as it is not just the vehicle collection costs that have to be covered; there is often the all too frequent involvement of the emergency services, not to mention the administrative costs. But of course prevention is better than cure, that's why Cartakeback, through the utilisation of our nationwide network of Authorised Treatment Facilities is able to offer a compliant scrap car recycling service, following which all vehicles are de-polluted and recycled in accordance with government targets and a DVLA Certificate of Destruction is issued. Without a Certificate a last owner could be heavily fined by DVLA or even remain responsible for any illegal activities which may otherwise be carried out if a car is not properly disposed of.
Cartakeback is the ideal partner for local authority run, vehicle surrender schemes, so if you are a local authority and are interested in operating a similar scheme in your local area then please contact us using our online form. Alternatively if you wish to include a link to the Cartakeback website on your website to make it easier for members of your local community to contact Cartakeback then please click here.
If you are a member of the public and you wish to report an abandoned vehicle in your area please contact your local authority.
