Air pollution is a recurring issue in major cities like Edinburgh, where roads are almost always busy. Alongside its mediaeval castles, Edinburgh has a variety of natural landmarks like Arthur’s Seat, which attract hundreds of tourists and are crucial to preserving.
Recently, Edinburgh has taken steps to ensure its air remains to preserve its environmental beauty and public health.
Similarly to Greater Manchester and London, the City of Edinburgh has introduced a low emission zone to reduce NO2 emissions from petrol and diesel cars. Edinburgh’s low emission zone encourages road users to utilise sustainable public transport and transition to cleaner vehicles before the UK’s 2030 ban on new petrol and diesel cars.
Vehicles that fail to meet the emission standards established by Edinburgh’s City Council and the Scottish Government must pay a daily fee to travel through this zone. Understandably, this has caused more people in Edinburgh to scrap their high-emission vehicles with Scrap Local.
Scrap Local is proud to partner with licensed Authorised Treatment Facilities (ATFs) that depollute and crush old cars safely throughout Edinburgh.
