This is the latest from the UK in regards to how a vehicle owner can scrap their cars and car donation centers are applauding the move. It is no longer legal for them to just take it to a scrap yard. The owner of the car must get a certificate of destruction to prove that the car was recycled in a environmentally friendly manner.
It is a real good law in my opinion because it forces people who scrap cars to dispose of all the fluids safely without dumping them into the environment. We need more laws like this in North America to real in the small, one man scrap operations running on a rural property. There are too many of these type of operations and the environmental cost is adding up.
