All scrap 4×4’s have to be processed at an Authorised treatment facility (ATF) in the UK. This is done to ensure standards are meet when scrapping a 4×4. Our company are connected to the relative yards to ensure the process is handled in the correct way.
When your 4×4 enters an ATF yard. It will be stripped of few things. Firstly, the yard will depollute the vehicle. To remove any hazardous products that are in the 4×4. This material includes oils, fuel, battery acid, coolants, anti-freeze, and refrigerants. All these can cause harm to the environment if not removed.
It is only once the depollution stage is complete that the cars parts can be removed. This will include items like Battery, Catalytic converter & Wheels. Once this is done the shell will be crushed and sold for the scrap metal value.
