Why Alternator Recycling Matters

Every business has a legal duty of care for its waste under section 34 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. You must pass scrap parts only to authorised carriers and keep waste transfer notes for two years.

Recycling also keeps useful metal in use. The copper in an alternator can be recovered and reused, while a skip or general waste bin sends it to landfill.

Alternator Disposal FAQs

Ask our team
How many alternators do I need for a collection?

We collect large and small volumes. If you only have a few alternators, we can add them to a collection of other automotive waste, such as catalytic converters, DPFs or oil. Tell us your quantity on the quote form and we will let you know the best option.

Do you collect alternators from households?

No. Our alternator recycling service is for businesses, such as garages, vehicle dismantlers, fleet operators and service centres. If you have a single alternator from your own car, your local council recycling centre or a local scrap metal yard is the best place to take it.

What happens to alternators after collection?

Your alternators go to licensed recycling facilities. There they are processed so the copper and other metals can be separated and recovered for reuse. You receive a waste transfer note for the collection, which you should keep for two years as proof you met your duty of care.
