Returning and scrapping end-of-life vehicles
Recycling end-of-life vehicles
At the end of its service life, your vehicle should be handed in for environmentally responsible recycling or disposal.
This is why the final registered keeper of a vehicle in the EU and many other countries is required by law to take their
vehicle to an authorised recycling plant.
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has an existing arrangement for end-of-life vehicles: you can return your vehicle at
a wide range of collection points in all EU member states and in many other countries. Within the EU, there is no
charge for handing in your vehicle providing that national legal requirements are met (the vehicle is complete and
free of waste, etc.).
Further information about collection points is available from your Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealership.
Scrapping
The relevant safety requirements must be observed when the vehicle or its individual components, e.g. from the
airbag system and belt tensioners, are scrapped. This applies particularly to the high-voltage battery. Qualified
workshops are familiar with these requirements.
