BEN has launched a “Give a Scrap” scheme enabling car businesses to dispose of any unwanted or unusable vehicles and then donate the value to BEN.
The scheme is targeted at dealers, MOT stations, repairers and service centres where customers often request disposal of these vehicles on their behalf.
The charity is working with Remove My Car to provide an established and easy solution to dispose of MOT failures and vehicles too expensive to repair. On average a recycled vehicle fetches £125.
The scheme provides:
* A quick, easy and free vehicle disposal network
* Instant online valuations & unlimited auction access
* Certificates of Destruction for all ELVs
* Free nationwide collection within 48 working hours
* An environmentally friendly option for any unwanted vehicles
“We are delighted to be working with BEN on the Give a Scrap scheme, said Steve Queen, managing director of Remove a Car.”
Nigel Williams, BEN commercial development manager said: “We are excited by the potential of Give a Scrap.
“Our industry recycles thousands of cars each year and if every UK outlet utilised this scheme to donate a minimum of one vehicle a year it would make a significant contribution to the number of people we can help.”
