GLJ Vehicle Recycling: authorised vehicle recycling in Newport

GLJ Vehicle Recycling, operated by GLJ Recycling Ltd, is an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) based in Newport, Wales. Since 2007 it has provided end-of-life vehicle collection and recycling services across South Wales. The company presents itself as one of Wales' largest end-of-life vehicle treatment facilities.

Vehicles it buys and collects

The company buys and collects end-of-life vehicles, insurance write-offs, non-runners and MOT failures, in any condition. It also handles cars, vans and motorcycles. The service includes home collection and, in most cases, the company states it can offer same-day collection at no extra cost.

Sale and valuation process

The process starts with an online calculator where the user enters the registration number and postcode to get an instant quote. The company states that it does not apply hidden charges. After accepting the offer, the team contacts the customer to arrange collection. At the time of collection, checks are made on the details provided and the agreed amount is transferred to the customer's bank account. The company states that payment is made on the same day as collection.

If the vehicle is not complete, i.e. if key components such as the engine, gearbox or exhaust system are missing, the team reviews the details during the follow-up call and issues a revised quote.

Environmental management and authorisations

GLJ Vehicle Recycling operates as an authorised treatment facility and licensed scrap yard in Newport. The company depollutes vehicles and recycles them at its facilities. As a registered ATF, it is permitted to issue Certificates of Destruction (CoD) for qualifying vehicles.

The company states that it complies with applicable UK regulations: the End-of-Life Vehicles Regulations 2003, the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 and the Waste Management Licensing Regulations 1994. It also states that all hazardous materials and waste streams are managed in accordance with Environment Agency requirements. The company holds end-of-life vehicle treatment facility permit number DB3097TJ and scrap metal dealer permit number SM029, both issued by Natural Resources Wales.

The company clarifies that it does not sell car parts; its activity focuses on responsible recycling at its authorised scrap yard in Newport, processing each vehicle in an environmentally friendly manner to maximise recycling and minimise waste.
