End of Life vehicles at Jeep®
Decommissioning your vehicle as an End of life vehicle
If you would like to decommission your vehicle as an end-of-life vehicle, please take note of the following:
In order to deregister your end-of-life vehicle you will need a so-called certificate of destruction. The certificate of destruction confirms that your vehicle was properly disposed of.
The certificate of destruction (COD) is issued by a certified Automotive Treatment Facility (ATF) or a manufacturer approved take-back station. A copy of the COD will be provided to the registered keeper of the vehicle and the vehicle licensing agency will be automatically notified by electronic means.
In order to achieve simple disposal of your end-of-life vehicle, Chrysler maintains a nationwide network of take-back stations, which take back your used Chrysler free of charge.
Our contracted dismantling operators are certified and fulfil all the legal requirements. Furthermore, they are audited according to our quality criteria and subjected to our monitoring.
Our simple waste-disposal process
What happens after the take-back?
Firstly, the vehicle will be depolluted according to the legal requirements in which all of the vehicles operating fluids (e.g. oil, brake fluid) are removed and recycled.
Subsequently the reusable parts and recoverable materials are dismantled. The recoverable materials such as glass, tyres and large plastic parts etc. are fed into separate recycling streams.
The remaining bodywork is shredded, separated into different categories and then as far as possible lead back into the economic cycle.
