Climate change is an ongoing issue across the UK and high emission vehicles are primarily responsible for rising pollution levels.

It’s been proposed that the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles will be banned throughout the UK by 2030 and several clean air zones have been introduced to penalise high emission vehicles travelling on congested roads.

These measures are already impacting road users and Scrap Local receives regular enquiries from people looking to scrap polluting vehicles in Darlington.

Fortunately, we work with Authorised Treatment Facilities (ATFs) who can de-pollute and scrap your car safely.
