What is an End of Life Vehicle (ELV)?
An ELV is any type of motor vehicle that is waste.
Waste is anything that you discard, intend to discard or are required to discard. This includes metal sent for recycling or reuse.
Whilst some aspects of the ELV Regulations only apply to the vehicle types covered by the ELV Directive (e.g. cars and vans), the site permitting and treatment requirements have been extended to include all waste motor vehicles, including motorcycles, lorries, coaches and buses.
We must meet very high standards to ensure that we:
• store and treat ELVs in a way that does not harm the environment
• remove all hazardous components and liquids (known as depollution)
• recycle, store and dispose of the parts appropriately.
What is a Certificate of Destruction?
When an ELV is brought to us, we will usually have to issue a Certificate of Destruction (CoD) to the owner; this is your proof that the vehicle has been transferred and will be treated to the required standards set by Environment Agency and DVLA before being destroyed.
In the case of motorcycles a COD is not available at this present moment in time. In these cases it's called a NOD. We will issue you with our own NOD, which will allow you to keep these for your records. It is an important document as it allows the last owner to show that their vehicle is no longer their responsibility.
What needs to be removed: All the hazardous components we must remove.
