Environmental Services have the
power to remove and dispose of a vehicle found on the highway that
investigations reveal to have been abandoned. If our investigations
are straight forward and checks with the DVLA reveal there is no
current registered keeper this is usually achieved within 48 hours
of initially receiving notification. We can also remove and dispose
of vehicles abandoned on private property, however this can take up
to 21 days.
If you see a vehicle which appears to have been
abandoned, anywhere in the Tendring district, please report it to
us by completing a
Waste Crusader Report
Form which you can complete and send
online, or if you prefer
a pdf version of the Waste Crusader Report Form is available.
Please try to give as much detail as your can for example, vehicle
registration, make, model, colour and precise details of where the
vehicle is located. This will help us with our investigations and
if the vehicle is found to be abandoned, to have it removed as
quickly as possible.

Cartakeback.com
Cartakeback.com was formed by UK shredder operators in response to
the End of Life Vehicle Directive. The Directive
was introduced with the aims of improving the recyclability of
vehicles, and ensuring that re-use, recycling and recovery rates of
end of life vehicles increased.
The 11 UK Shredders have sufficient capacity
to recycle the expected 2 million end of life vehicles each year.
The Cartakeback network has developed across the UK and today
provides coverage in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland
which surpasses the government criteria for accessibility for last
owners as laid down for vehicle manufacturers under the End of Life
Vehicle regulations. Cartakeback has in place exclusive contracts
to provide this accessibility criteria with vehicle manufacturers
who are responsible for over 70% of vehicles on the road. These
manufacturers are Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Audi, Bentley, Bugatti,
Citroën, Fiat, Ford, Hyundai, Iveco, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Lancia,
Land Rover, LDV, Lotus, Mitsubishi, Mazda , MG, Nissan, Perodua,
Peugeot, Proton, Renault, Renault Trucks, Rover, Seat, Skoda,
Tatra, Volkswagen & Volvo. For more information on
