Scrap cars

As a car owner, you are responsible for your car even after you have taken it out of service. End-of-life cars (scrap cars) are hazardous waste because they contain liquids and parts that are dangerous to the environment.

It is your obligation to return your end-of-life vehicle to Bilretur's collection points or directly to an authorised car dismantling facility. This is to ensure that the car is recycled in an environmentally sound manner. The nearest authorised car dismantling facility (Ådalens) is in Kramfors.

In Sollefteå and Junsele, there will be a temporary reception point in November where you can hand in your end-of-life car for recycling. The car must be registered in advance at www.bilretur.se External link, opens in new window. and you must have received a receipt from Bilretur that the car will be accepted. Please respect the opening hours that you will be notified of once you have registered your car, it is not possible to bring your car in at any other time!

At the reception point, we will receive the cars that have been registered via www.bilretur.se on two alternative occasions during the month of November 2022: 3 and 8 November in Junsele and 10 and 15 November in Sollefteå. If there is a lot of interest there will be more days.

The reception is a collaboration between BilRetur, Stena Recycling, Mobility Sweden and Sollefteå municipality.
