♻ Recycle Your Vehicle Responsibly Location: 60 – 67a Darbishire Street, Bolton, BL1 2TN
To protect yourself legally, only accept a DVLA Certificate of Destruction (CoD). At German Bitz, every scrap vehicle we handle is issued a CoD. We follow a strict Depollution Process in line with official scrapyard guidelines. This includes the professional recycling of spare parts and the safe disposal of hazardous oils, chemicals, and old batteries.
When a vehicle is written off by an insurer, it is assigned a category based on its condition:
Category A (Scrap): Vehicles damaged beyond repair. The entire car must be crushed; no parts can be salvaged.
Category B (Break): The chassis/frame must be destroyed, but high-quality usable parts can be salvaged and recycled for resale.
Category S (Structural): The vehicle has sustained structural or frame damage but is repairable. Once professionally repaired and inspected, these cars can return to the road.
Category N (Non-Structural): Formerly “Cat D,” these vehicles have suffered non-structural damage (such as electrical or cosmetic issues) and are safe to be repaired and re-sold.
Your Legal Responsibility as a Vehicle Owner When scrapping a vehicle in the UK, the law requires you to ensure it is processed by a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF). If your car is not scrapped correctly, you could remain liable for future taxes, fines, and even a £1,000 DVLA penalty.
At German Bitz, we take this responsibility seriously. Every vehicle we recycle follows a strict, legally compliant process:
Certificate of Destruction (CoD): We issue an official DVLA CoD for every scrap car. This is your legal proof that the vehicle has been destroyed and you are no longer the registered keeper.
The Depollution Process: Before recycling begins, our qualified technicians remove all hazardous materials. This includes the safe extraction and disposal of:
Engine and transmission oils
Fuel and coolants
Brake and power steering fluids
Old batteries and chemical waste
Eco-Friendly Salvage: In line with official 2026 environmental guidelines, we maximize the recycling of spare parts to reduce waste, ensuring that only non-reusable materials are sent for final disposal.
