Information on motor salvage operator licences

A motor salvage operator is any person who:

• carries on a business that involves the recovery of salvageable parts from motor vehicles
• is involved in the subsequent sale or disposal for scrap of the remainder of the vehicle
• is involved in the purchase of 'written off' vehicles for repair or resale, or other related activities

If you are involved in any of the above activities relating to motor salvage you will need to register with the council.

If you have any queries or questions regarding registration, please contact Environmental Health using the details specified on the right hand side of this webpage.
