Vehicle Dismantling and Recycling Across Taranaki
Automotive dismantling separates an end-of-life vehicle into components and material streams before final recycling.
Suitable components may be recovered, automotive fluids and other materials handled appropriately, and recyclable metals separated from what remains.
This means car wrecking, vehicle dismantling and recycling operate as connected stages rather than treating the complete vehicle as one piece of waste.
Town, Rural and Commercial Vehicles Across Taranaki
Taranaki includes larger urban areas, smaller towns and extensive rural land, so the vehicles we assess can come from very different locations.
Alongside passenger cars, this can include work utes, 4WDs, vans and other commercial vehicles located at farms, workshops, business premises or rural properties.
Tell us exactly where the vehicle is located, whether it runs or rolls and about any access issues when requesting an assessment.
