End of Life Vehicle Processing - ELV
We are the biggest local centre for the safe disposal of End-of-Life-Vehicles. We handle thousands of vehicles per year at our specialist Bolton plant.
We are a modern facility, fully equipped to the latest standards to ensure your vehicle will be safely and cleanly disposed of. Our team of highly skilled staff can guide you through the depollution process; you can leave all the messy work to us!
1. Oil Fluid Separation
We use large industial interceptors to collect and separate oil from vehicles during the de-pollution process. Interceptors are placed safely beneath the surface of our site so that any liquids or rainwater that falls onto the site will drain into them. The contaminated water is then pumped into our highly efficient oil separation tanks.
2. Drain Oil
During the end of life vehicle depollution process we remove all oil left in the vehicle including the oil filters that will retain a surprising amount. We use a modern vacuum crusher to remove as much oil as possible from the old filters.
3. Waste Storage
We store all the waste fluids safely and in compliance with government regulations and they are later disposed of by specialist third-party companies.
At Metro Salvage we are dedicated to the safe depollution of vehicles and we have a proven track record of safety and reliability.
The process described above gives you an idea of how we process end of life vehicles. We follow strict safety and environmental guidelines so that we can deliver a truly remarkable car salvageservice.
