The public concept of the normal UK scrap yard is one of a blur, oil covered, German Sheppard guarded no go region. This picture s not totally unfair, as until the last few decdes since the era of the TV. series 'Steptoe / Son' very little changed in the manner these places were organized. The need to go there was unknown to most of us as there was a local brawl man that had a flat bed automobile and came to take scrap away from our residences for pennies and kept us at distant from these supposed dark and fearful places.
The urgency for the German Sheppard arrived out of times as soon as the value of scrap rose on the world markets together with the bull market in commodities, notably the metals and the mining stocks. The world values for scrap rises or falls as do all markets but now-a-days the world of the dodgy back street scrap dealer is becoming fewer, and that is due in no least part to legislation set out by Europe and also UK government. Now-a-days there are 'licences' for almost each part of the scrapping procedure. A licence to eliminate vehicles, a licence to store classic vehicles, a licence to dismantle used vehicles and a licence to eliminate the more hazardous mixtures and fluids of old vehicles. These 'licences' cost fortune and as such can be viewed as a tax on the process of auto dismantling and disposal.
So we have an process that has had to be shifted into a new era of cooperation, opaqueness and self-regulation. This is not a bad thaught in fact one of the important and immediate effects has been the reduction in unpure ground and ground water next to scrap yards and vehicle dismantling garage. The need for any scrap place to make a profit in this best regulated environment is paramount. The amount of continuing expenses for licences and inspections means that in case the business is not run perfectly then licences might not be bought and fairly quickly it will have to shut down its gates.
So we have the best bread of yards that are run best and any and every penny of profit and finance return is squeezed out of the dismantling system.
The facility, as they are now better known, is usually equipped with different areas for storing like metals, rubber, plastics and fluids. These, where could, are sold for recycling. At this instance the equation starts to make quiet more sense. If the incoming return for dealing materials to recycling processes is quiet more than the cost of the licences and overheads estimated to provide the yard, then the business has a aim to continue to try and achieve even better outcomes in its dismantling process. When you add the overall income that might be derived from the sale of used parts one can see the business model that has to be followed to be viable.
So next time you come across a brand new, high quality sign mentioning 'vans wanted' or find a second hand van spares website in your search to find van parts to fix your van bear in mind that this is, in no small part, an industry that now is because of the pressure to re-use and recycle coming from people or governments alike. This is something of a success in the murky world of climate change and the feeling that nothing changes. It does, but sometimes the shift in consciousness can only occur after the profit margin over runs the taxes. Show a man a new way of streiving and he may say no thanks, show a man a new method of living that will also increase his bank balance and he may be more inclined to make the change.
