When your End-of-Life
Vehicle (ELV) is collected, it is transported to an Authorised Treatment
Facility (ATF). Here, the vehicle undergoes depollution—a process of removing
hazardous materials—before any reusable parts are salvaged. Once these steps
are complete, the car is crushed and recycled. Depollution typically occurs
within four days of the vehicle arriving at the ATF. Interested in knowing
