Catalytic Converter & DPF

This category handles enquiries about catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters (DPFs). These vehicle exhaust components should be identified separately from general scrap.

A catalytic converter and a diesel particulate filter perform different jobs in an exhaust system, and their construction and potential recoverable materials are not interchangeable. When possible, identify the component type, vehicle or equipment of origin, and any visible part numbers or markings. Uncertain identification is fine: a clear photograph can help the business decide what further details are needed.

Explain whether the component is complete, damaged or already separated from the vehicle, and provide an approximate unit count and location. It is also sensible to have information showing lawful possession or authority to dispose of the parts. Acceptance requirements and any identification or documentation checks should be confirmed directly; this page does not promise acceptance of every exhaust component.

Do not cut open, burn or process these units as a preparation step. Ask the team how items should be presented before moving them. For vehicle-related scrap beyond exhaust components, review vehicle bodies and metal part recovery, or browse the materials list for other categories.

Catalytic converters and DPFs are not identical. State which component you have, the approximate number, their condition and the location of the items.

Contact the business before transporting or delivering components. Confirm any documentation, acceptance and handling requirements. Do not dismantle or process components on the assumption that doing so is required.
