There are laws in place to reduce the impact that scrap cars can have on the environment. All CarTakeBack branches in Ireland are licensed by the authorities to recycle scrap cars.
CarTakeBack are passionate about recycling! To look after the environment, our scrap car recycling centres use the latest methods to safely remove harmful materials from your car, then dispose of them in the safest way. Making sure that the waste oils, tyres and batteries are disposed of correctly, they would cause serious environmental damage if they ended up down the drain or in landfill. CarTakeBack recycling centres reuse parts when possible and recycle as much of your scrap car as they can – the metal, glass and plastics are separated for recycling.
When a car arrives at the scrap car recycling centre there’s a lot that goes into depolluting and recycling it. Fluids such as fuel, brake fluid, even windscreen wash have to be safely removed from the vehicle, ensuring that no excess chemicals leak into the environment. Airbags have to be securely detonated. Any parts that are in a good condition are salvaged for reuse, to get the maximum life out of them.
It’s now ready to be crushed, this is usually done to make vehicles more efficient to transport for further recycling. The cubed or crushed vehicles are then safely transported to a shredder plant. These shredder facilities process the vehicles into smaller pieces and separate the metal, glass, plastics and fabrics, which can then be recycled for use in various ways. At this point there is just 5% of the vehicle leftover that can’t be recycled, which becomes top cover for landfill.
This process is just for a regular petrol or diesel vehicle, but as you might guess, there’s even more involved in decommissioning an electric vehicle! Not only do the high voltage batteries need to be safely disconnected and removed from an electric or hybrid car, but various other high voltage systems and powerful magnets also need to be carefully made safe, before taking the rest of the car apart.

The company assigned by car take back made the process very simple and even gave us advice that would help us save more money. Very happy with the service.
Service was so professional and gave me confidence that all would go well. From my first phone call to the guy who collected my car. Very transparent.
You just put in the car reg & Eircode and you get a quote. Take it or leave. I wasn't there myself for the pick up but my mechanic said they just loaded it up and give him a sealed envelope with the cash.
Quick service, with no fuss. Removed my late father's car saving me any trouble with selling etc. I handed over the paperwork, they gave me cash and the driver loaded it on the truck and took it away. Would gladly recommend.
I will totally recommend this service. Once you fill the form in a few days they are at your home ready to take your car back and give you the cash in hand for it. Easy and quick!
Really nice people to deal with. Because they were so busy there was a bit of a wait to actually get the car removed but once date was arranged everything else went like clockwork. Would definitely use them again if need be.
Fast, efficient service, constant emails and texts to keep you updated on progress. A very courteous collection driver and a prompt payment into my bank.
Excellent, professional, courteous and friendly from start to finish. Don't change a single thing. Hammond Lane has lovely staff and exceptional service. Brilliant, highly recommend them to everyone!
Excellent service from my phone call to CarTakeBack until I received my Destruction Cert. They collected the car at a time that suited me A cash payment and paperwork was given to me at the same time My cert arrived by post a few days later.
