Abandoned Vehicles
Abandoned Vehicles
Abandoned cars are not only unsightly, but can be dangerous, especially to youngsters that are tempted to use them as play equipment.
It is illegal to dump a vehicle in the street, but also unnecessary as Government regulations that came into force on 1 January 2007 entitle car owners to "free take-back" by the manufacturers.
If you suspect a vehicle has been dumped in your street just call the Abandoned Vehicle Officer on 020 8547 5973 or email the details to abandoned.vehicles@rbk.kingston.gov.uk
Free Take-Back
New Government Regulations require vehicle manufacturers to offer Free Take-Back of their vehicles. Under the "End of Life Vehicle Directive", centres have been set up around the country to dispose of your vehicle in a sustainable manner.
The Council's abandoned vehicle contractor offers a free collection and disposal service. Please note the Council is not involved in this service, which would be a private arrangement between the contractor and you.
