Frequently Asked Questions
Can an old car be recycled?
Yes. Older vehicles can contain reusable components and recyclable materials even when the vehicle itself is no longer suitable for regular use.
Can a non-running car be recycled?
Yes. A vehicle does not need to be running to be assessed for recycling. Its condition will determine what components and materials can be recovered.
Can a deregistered vehicle be recycled?
Deregistered vehicles can still be assessed for automotive recycling if they have reached the end of their useful life.
What happens to a car when it is recycled?
The vehicle is assessed to identify reusable components and recyclable materials. Suitable items can be recovered before the remaining vehicle materials are processed.
