Volkswagen ID.3: Old vehicle return and scrap disposal

Old vehicle return

At the end of its life cycle, your Volkswagen ID.3 vehicle should be recycled/disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. This is why the last owners of vehicles in the EU and many other states are legally obliged to hand their vehicles over to a recognized collection point, recycling center or recognized removal facility.

Volkswagen has already made provision for this point:Recycling centers where you can hand over your vehicle are available throughout all EU states and many other states. If you are fulfilling national legal requirements, handing over your scrap vehicle within the EU is free of charge for you.

The recycling center issues a recycling certificate, which provides you with proof that the scrap vehicle has been processed properly.

Find out more information about recycling centers from your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

Scrap disposal

If scrapping the Volkswagen ID.3 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.
