Old vehicle return and scrap disposal
Old vehicle return
At the end of its life cycle, your vehicle should be recycled or disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. This is why the last owners of vehicles in many states are legally obliged to hand their vehicles over to an authorized treatment facility.
Volkswagen has already made provision for this point: Recycling centers where you can hand over your vehicle are available throughout many federal states.
Find out more information about recycling centers from your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Scrap disposal
If scrapping the vehicle or its individual parts such as the airbag system and the safety belt pretensioners, the applicable safety regulations must always be followed. Suitably qualified professionals will be familiar with these provisions. Volkswagen recommends contacting your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
