Most of us will remember the first car that we had after we passed our UK driving test. For many, it wasn’t the best car in the world, but it was one that we could afford, but eventually, it just stopped starting in the morning and after a while it was costing more to fix and was off the road more that it was on it. There are thousands of cars like these all over the United Kingdom and eventually there needs to be a home found for them where they can become useful again. Your local scrap yard is the stop off point for these cars and there they will be taken care of.
There are a number of qualified scrap car services in Hinckley and these places provided a much-needed service to the local community. When they get your old car, there are a number of things that they can do.
- They will strip the car down completely and remove any undamaged panels that might be used again for other cars that are still running. If you have an older car, you might find the part you need.
- These scrap cars contain fluids that must be properly disposed of, like oils, brake fluid and anti-freeze, otherwise it would just drain onto the ground and into the water table below.
- What’s left is then usually crushed and shipped off to a place where it is melted down again and reused. By taking your old car to the scrap yard, you are doing your bit for the environment.
Be responsible and do your bit for the Eco system by disposing of your car at your local scrap yard.
