Scrap Your Car For A Greener Poole

It’s no secret that older vehicles which rely on fossil fuels are responsible for a large amount of CO2 and NO2 emissions in our atmosphere.

Coastal towns like Poole value environmental protection and work hard to reduce harmful emissions produced by residents and tourists.

Across the UK the sale of new petrol and diesel cars will be banned in 2030 and major cities in the South East of England are already taking steps to penalise road users who drive high emission vehicles.

Some people are looking to scrap cars before these changes come into effect, and Scrap Local is more than happy to help with this.

We provide a reliable collection service and works with trusted Authorised Treatment Facilities (ATFs) who ensure that scrap cars in Poole are disposed of properly.
