Environmental Agency Prosecutes Scrap Metal Hoarders; ACME Auto Salvage Promotes Scrap Car Sales

Feb. 13, 2013 - PRLog -- ACME Auto Salvage, a leading UK scrap car dealership (http://www.acmeautosalvage.co.uk/?FEB2) is urging owners of scrap or damaged cars to sell their scrap cars for disposal in an environmentally approved way, after a man was fined £4,000 for keeping scrap metal on his farm.

The owner of the farm in Newport was prosecuted by the Environmental Agency Wales following the discovery of a large amount of scrap metal on the land, by agency officers.

The man did not have an environmental permit or permission to keep scrap metal on his land, and he admitted this when interviewed under caution. He claimed that the land was rented to a third party but could produce no documentation to prove this. He also refused to identify the alleged third party.

In addition to £4,000 in fines, he was also ordered to pay £906.84 in court costs.

While car owners are unlikely to get a call from the environmental agency about an old car sitting in their driveway, respected car breakers like ACME Auto Salvage maintain that the best course of action to take with your scrap car is to sell it to an authorised scrap car disposal professional.

ACME Auto Salvage destroy all of the scrap cars they collect in one of their Authorised Treatment Facilities (ATF) around the UK. Owners will be presented with a cheque during the pickup of their car, and ACME can offer the best price since they guarantee to beat any genuine quote.

Not only will the customer receive a great price, they’ll also receive a Certificate of Destruction to prove that the car was disposed of in the most environmentally friendly way.
