Charlton Volvo Centre’s  Policy on the enviroment:

To reuse good quality car parts through our Volvo spares and parts business.

To reintroduce these parts into use whenever it is possible and practical.

Our aim is to reverse the amount of waste that impacts on our environment.

By utilizing recycled parts whenever your car needs them we guarantee that you will reduce your cars
maintenance bills by up to 75%

Whatever we cannot reuse is recycled and sent back to the factories as raw materials for future production.
Help us to help the environment through careful recycling.
