MVDA members now have the facility to list the vehicles they currently have for sale on the MVDA website.

And it's completely FREE OF CHARGE to all MVDA members.

It's a pretty basic system at the moment, but it can be further developed if it proves useful to/ popular with members.

There are no IT system requirements, other than access to & ability to use later MS XL packages.

If you are a MVDA member, simply log in, download the template, add your vehicle details & upload the file.

Simples!

WILL THE SCRAP METAL PRICE COLLAPSE RESULT IN MORE ABANDONED VEHICLES?

There is growing speculation that a continuing decline in scrap metal values will witness a resurgence of abandoned vehicles, and a sharp contraction in the ELV & metals recycling industries.  Pessimism in the marketplace has been underlined with the recent major metal industry closures, collapses & cutbacks - including the announcement today by TATA about 1200 UK job losses.

In recent months we have heard reports of members starting to refrain from paying for ELVs needing collection or offering only low prices for ELVs delivered into their sites.  The brunt of the value collapse is being experienced by small volume operators but even larger operators in some parts of the country are seeing collected bulk light iron prices as low as £25/ tonne.

It was back in 1999-2003 that abandoned vehicle problems last reached fever pitch, with a reported 330,000 vehicles being abandoned annually – with local government authorities (i.e. the taxpayer) footing the bill.  At the time, it was the weakness in the UK vehicle registration system that allowed this to happen – something that continues largely unchanged to this day, with up to 600,000 vehicles disappearing in the UK every year.  But this was before the ELV Directive was in place.

So the collapse in metal values potentially moves us into uncharted territories.  The EU ELV Directive, & the ‘own marque’ system implemented in the UK, was supposed to ‘head off’ this problem, by making ‘producers’ (vehicle manufacturers) responsible for ‘zero value’ ELVs and all VMs were required to, & have, established ‘free take back’ networks (the two service providers being CarTakeBack & Autogreen).

It remains to be seen exactly what ‘free take back’ really means, but it is generally envisaged to mean ‘free acceptance upon delivery of the ELV by the owner to an appointed take back location’.  Whether it would be acceptable to make a charge for collection is currently unclear.  But it is also our current understanding that service provider contracted ATFs are legally obliged to accept ELVs delivered to them FOC – a situation many thought would never arise.  Non-contracted ATFs have no such acceptance obligations.

MVDA members are invited to let us know, in confidence, how they are currently coping & what values they are managing to obtain for light iron sold to metal merchants.

We will be in touch regularly with Government to see how they view the current situation.

VAUXHALL LAUNCH SCRAPPAGE SCHEME

Vauxhall has launched a new scrappage scheme.  The following is from the Vauxhall website:

Vauxhall Scrappage Offer - Get £2,000 off a new Vauxhall

If you’ve recently had your eye on a shiny new Vauxhall car, here’s your chance to drive it away at a £2,000 discount (including VAT).

To claim the discount, all you have to do is trade in your old car when you buy. Any brand will do, and the age of your vehicle doesn’t matter.

You’ll simply need to prove that you’ve owned it for at least 90 days before the new-car order date and agree that the vehicle can be scrapped.

This scrappage offer is available at participating Retailers and covers our passenger-car range excluding VIVA, Corsa Sting, Corsa Sting R and ADAM JAM. Terms and conditions apply.**

Our scrappage offer is available on top of other Vauxhall offers – so why not save even more by combining it with our Flexible Finance, Flexible PCP or insurance offers?

For example, if you’re 18-20, you can get a year’s insurance on ADAM SLAM and Corsa Limited Edition for just £99. And if you’re 21 or more, you can get one year’s free insurance.

This means a 21-year old customer who trades in their car could also take advantage of a £1,190 finance deposit contribution and pay just £193 per month over 36 months for a Corsa three-door 1.2-litre Limited Edition – and that includes one year’s free insurance and one year’s free OnStar and 4G Wi-Fi^.

We’re the only manufacturer making this offer, so why not contact your Vauxhall Retailer today?

**Scrappage Allowance – terms and conditions
£2,000 Scrappage Allowance towards a new car is offered on condition that the traded-in car must have been registered in your name as the owner for a least 90 days and the registration document must be in your name and address. Offers available to private individuals and small businesses 1-24 units (purchase only). All other sales categories are excluded. Offers apply to selected new vehicles ordered between 8 October 2015 and 15 December 2015, and are subject to terms and conditions. Offers available at participating retailers only. UK-supplied vehicles only.

^On selected models only. OnStar is a comprehensive package which includes a high-speed 4G Wi-Fi mobile network, emergency response notification and stolen-vehicle recovery technology.

IT IS IN YOUR INTEREST TO TAKE PART IN THIS!

 

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT WASTE LEGISLATION & THE REGULATORS - GOVERNMENT ASKS FOR YOUR VIEW

 

TAKE PART IN 15 MIN ON-LINE SURVEY

Having spoken to many of you and/ or having received comments and submissions from you in the past few weeks, we are now in the process of putting together a report summarising the findings of the Cutting Red Tape review into the waste and recycling sector. The report and the review would not have been possible without the contributions we have received so far from you and your members so this comes with a huge thank you for your input.

In order for us to give context to some of the themes and issues that have been raised, we have been working with our analysts to establish a baseline of the costs and impacts to the industry. It would be really helpful if you could circulate the survey below to your members – the survey should only take a few minutes to complete and the closing date is Monday 19 October.
