With experience in the salvage and recovery business since 1963, Gowing Auto Salvage are now at the forefront of meeting the new legislative requirements by offering a brand new environmentally friendly vehicle disposal service. We take in all makes and models of unwanted vehicles and de-pollute them in our brand new, purpose built, de-pollution centre prior to disposal.

The End of Life Vehicle Act (ELV) came into force in 2003 with the effect that any vehicle reaching the end of its road-going life, must, by law, be taken to a licensed ELV site to be de-polluted and scrapped.

In August of 2004 Gowing Auto Salvage embarked on this new environmentally friendly scheme. We had to satisfy a mass of strict regulations to meet the new legislation, but after a great deal of hard work we were granted our ELV Licence by the Environment Agency in December 2004. We are proud of the fact that we are among only a very few companies who have been accepted nationwide.

Our experience of the business and our drive to be among the first to achieve our ELV License has made us the leading ELV and Salvage centre in East Anglia.

Disposal Service

We charge £65.00 to dispose of your car, this will include collection, full de-pollution and VAT so there are no hidden costs. Simply fill out the form below or phone our ELV Hotline: 01284 812057 for more information.

We have now installed a state-of-the-art de-pollution centre, fully equipped to process vehicles. All oils and fluids are efficiently removed from the vehicle and stored for recycling in the manufacturing industry. Once this de-pollution process is complete the vehicle is broken down into its recyclable elements - all the plastics, steel and aluminum now go on to make new products in today's worldwide recycling markets.

We are proud of our record for providing outstanding customer support, so phone today and let us help you do your bit for the environment!
