Volvo Car UK complies with all its "producer responsibility" obligations in respect of End-of-Life Vehicle legislation, which was introduced 2005.
Working with Cartakeback.com Ltd, the UK's leading scrap car recycling service provider, Volvo ensures that owners of Volvo cars have access to a convenient national network of scrap car recycling centres (Authorised Treatment Facilities), when finally scrapping their cars. These scrap car recycling centres depollute and recycle cars to high environmental standards.
The service is free of charge to the owner of the scrap car, who is issued with a statutory DVLA Certificate of Destruction, absolving them from any tax liability for the old car.
Batteries are made up of valuable heavy metals which can be reused, however millions of batteries end up in landfill. The toxic contents in batteries mean that they can be hazardous to the environment if not disposed of properly. Under the Waste Batteries and Accumulators Regulations 2009, we, Volvo Car UK Limited, are obliged to take back, free of charge and within a reasonable time, any Industrial batteries fitted to a Volvo car (EV & Hybrid cars) to the end user and collect any automotive/vehicle batteries from final holders for treatment and recycling.
Go to https://www.cartakeback.com/official-car-recycling-partner-to-thecar-makers/scrap-volvo/ to find out how to take advantage of this convenient process, and how to get the best price from one of Cartakeback's 300 plus scrap car recycling centres.
Volvo Car UK and Volvo Car Corporation deal similarly with our responsibility under the Waste Batteries legislation. You can go to https://www.volvocars.com/intl/v/sustainability/batterydisposal/requestbattery-pick-up to find out more and plan for battery collection and disposal.
