BCP Council Awards W&S Recycling a 3-Year Partnership for Abandoned Vehicle Recovery
Ever spotted a car sitting for weeks on the same street and wondered who clears it away? Across the county, abandoned vehicles in Dorset cause frustration for residents and hazards for road users. The good news is that Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council (BCP) has now awarded W&S Recycling a three-year partnership, with a possible further 2, to tackle this issue head-on.
This agreement covers the safe collection, treatment, and recycling of these vehicles, ensuring they’re dealt with swiftly and responsibly. The partnership reinforces our reputation as the area’s trusted waste management and recycling expert, helping keep communities cleaner and roads safer for everyone.
A New Three-Year Partnership for Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch
This long-term partnership marks a significant investment in keeping our roads and public spaces free from derelict vehicles. Working closely with BCP Council, W&S Recycling will oversee every stage of the process, from removal to final recycling.
The contract supports the council’s commitment to sustainable waste management while recognising our proven record in dependable collection, disposal, and vehicle recycling. Together, we’re building a collaborative approach that benefits both the environment and the people who live and work across the county.
Managing Abandoned Vehicles Across the Towns
An abandoned vehicle is typically one left in a public place without tax, insurance, or clear ownership. When these appear, they quickly become eyesores and potential safety risks.
Through our agreement, we’re responsible for the collection, secure transport, and storage of such vehicles before recycling. Our county-wide coverage ensures rapid response, whether the vehicle is found in a rural lane or an urban car park.
Each recovery contributes to efficient vehicle recycling and supports efforts to remove abandoned vehicles swiftly and safely.
The Process: From Collection to Recycling
Every vehicle we handle goes through a precise, regulated process designed for safety and sustainability.
- Vehicles are collected and taken to our licensed Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF).
- Each one undergoes a full depollution process, with all fuels, oils, and hazardous materials removed safely.
- Components are dismantled, sorted, and prepared for reuse or recycling.
- Metals and materials are recovered for responsible vehicle recycling, reducing landfill waste and conserving resources.
By following this structure, we ensure that no element goes to waste and every stage meets strict environmental standards.
