Depollution
Every vehicle undergoes full depollution. All fluids, batteries, tyres and other environmentally harmful materials are safely removed in accordance with UK regulations to prevent contamination and protect the environment.
Sell Your CarAt Combellack Vehicle Recyclers Limited, vehicle recycling is more than a service - it’s a responsibility we’ve proudly upheld as a family-run business with long-standing roots in the motor trade.
Built on generations of hands-on experience, our family heritage underpins everything we do. We combine traditional values of honesty, reliability, and hard work with modern, fully compliant vehicle recycling processes to support insurers, fleet operators, motor trade professionals, and private vehicle owners across the UK.
We specialise in the compliant handling of end-of-life and total loss vehicles, delivering a seamless, auditable process from collection through to final disposal. Every vehicle is depolluted, dismantled, and recycled in accordance with UK environmental legislation, with a strong focus on reuse and material recovery wherever possible.
We are proud members of the VRA Certification Programme, demonstrating our commitment to best practice, environmental responsibility, and continual improvement. This certification provides insurers and fleet clients with confidence that all vehicles are processed ethically, safely, and in full compliance with regulatory requirements.
A key part of our service offering is our integration with E2E Total Loss, enabling a fully transparent and efficient solution for the management of total loss vehicles. Through E2E, we provide complete traceability, accurate reporting, and audit-ready documentation - supporting insurer governance, compliance, and operational efficiency at every stage of the vehicle lifecycle.
To further maximise vehicle value and sustainability, we actively utilise E2E Parts Market and E2E Salvage Market. These platforms allow us to responsibly remarket reusable vehicle parts and salvage assets, helping insurers and fleet operators achieve improved returns while supporting the circular economy and reducing environmental impact.
What sets us apart is our practical, service-led approach. We understand the operational pressures faced by insurers and fleet managers, which is why we focus on clear communication, dependable turnaround times, and a straightforward, no-nonsense process - backed by family values and industry expertise.
Whether you’re an insurer, fleet operator, or private vehicle owner, Combellack Vehicle Recyclers Limited delivers a trusted, compliant, and efficient vehicle recycling solution - built on heritage, driven by technology, and committed to environmental responsibility.
In the UK approximately two million vehicles every year reach the end of their life; here at Combellack’s it’s our job to process these vehicles in the most professional and ecological way possible.
That means before we even begin to break any vehicle down we assess it and if it is repairable we will send it through our salvage auction so that it can be put back to use on the road.
If a vehicle is not considered repairable it will go through our eight-step process starting with depollution, then anything useful is removed and finally ends with crushing.

Sell Your CarOnce depolluted, recyclable materials are identified and separated. Wherever possible, serviceable parts are removed, tested and resold to extend their lifespan and reduce environmental impact. Remaining materials are then separated and recycled, ensuring maximum recovery and minimal waste.
Dismantled vehicles are stored safely on sealed concrete surfaces, ensuring compliance and preventing environmental risk prior to final processing.
