Air Pollution And Vehicle Scrappage Within Berkshire

The UK is taking critical steps to monitor air pollution and combat climate change. Many of the plans proposed to protect the environment will impact road users from populous counties like Berkshire.

In 2030 the UK government have proposed for a complete ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles.

In addition to this, multiple clean air and low emission zones are being introduced in major cities to encourage more people to scrap their high emission vehicles and switch to cleaner methods of transport.

Scrap Local are proud to partner with Authorised Treatment Facilities (ATFs) who ensure that vehicle scrappage is a straightforward process and that cars and vans are disposed of professionally.

If you’re keen to ditch your old set of wheels for a greener form of transport, then make a scrap car enquiry with Scrap Local!
