Treating & recycling waste vehicles
What you must do
These vehicles must be depolluted before you can recycle them. De-pollution involves the safe removal of potentially dangerous components, including batteries and hydraulic fluids.
Check if you need an authorisation
You can only carry out work on end-of-life vehicles if you are a licensed authorised treatment facility (ATF).
If you carry out work on end-of-life vehicles, you must have an authorisation:
- In Northern Ireland, you will need a waste management licence
- In Scotland, you will need an EASR registration or permit
You must also comply with your waste responsibilities.
