The capital of England gains a lot of traffic, with over 19.2 billion vehicle miles being travelled in 2023 alone. Understandably, more vehicles on London’s roads lead to more CO2 and NO2 emissions in this bustling city.
London has been at the forefront of vehicle recycling and has introduced several schemes to reduce air pollution. Environmental initiatives like London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone and Scrappage Scheme are designed to dispose of highly polluting vehicles and encourage more road users to transition to cleaner cars.
London has a larger congestion charge map covering multiple areas within their Ultra Low Emission Zone. These congestion charges will run across the North Circular Road (A406) and the South Circular Road (A205).
In 2023, the ULEZ was expanded to include an updated ULEZ expansion area, covering all 33 boroughs in London. Read more on the latest changes with our complete 2023 ULEZ Expansion Guide.
In short, road users could face fees for spending too much time on London’s roads and producing harmful emissions. Our in-depth guide lets you learn more about London’s congestion zone charges.
If your vehicle is no longer suitable to drive through London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone, it might be time to scrap it with us.
2023 ULEZ Scrappage Scheme
Scrap Local makes scrap car disposal easy and works with reliable Authorised Treatment Facilities (ATFs) that recycle vehicles properly.
Our approved scrappage scheme partner will provide all the paperwork, such as a certificate of destruction and can assist further for successful candidates who have received ULEZ grant funding.
Submit a scrap car enquiry to our team, and we’ll connect you to our approved scrap yard in London, supporting both the latest scrappage scheme and disposal of end-of-life vehicles.
