I Need To Scrap My Car In Scotland

Overall, Scotland’s transport emissions account for 8.6% of the UK total. Worryingly, Scotland has scored above the normal amount for transport emissions in the UK. 13.1% of Scotland’s bus emissions are above a proportionate share of the UK total and domestic transport accounts for 21%.

This presents a growing concern for major cities in Scotland. Recently, there has been a push for more investment in Clean Air Zones under the Scottish Climate Committee in order to reduce the amount of high emission vehicles on Scotland’s roads.

Key policies in the Climate Change (Emissions Reduction Targets) Act 2019  include making it easier for people to walk, cycle, and use sustainable forms of public transport across Scotland.

Additionally, there has been more emphasis on ensuring that the electric vehicle charging infrastructure is in place to eliminate the need to buy petrol or diesel cars in Scotland by 2032 at the latest.

Due to the recent focus on reducing pollution levels from diesel cars, lorries and taxis across Scotland, many motorists are seeking additional support, guidance and assurance when scrapping their old cars.

Thankfully, Scrap Local works with Authorised Treatment Facilities (ATFs) and licensed Waste Carriers who ensure that vehicles are de-polluted and scrapped in accordance with strict guidelines throughout Scotland.
