South Somerset residents can now take vehicle parts to recycling sites for the first time.
In the district, residents can have parts recycled at sire in Chard and Yeovil.
The new chargeable service is expected to help mainly car, motorcycle and mobile home enthusiasts who do their own repairs and improvements.
Costs for single components, such as an unrimmed car tyre, start at £3.50, many small parts are at £4.20 per item, with prices up to £103.80 for an under body structure.
The full list of vehicle parts taken and their costs can be found on the Somerset Waste Partnership (SWP) website or in a leaflet from one of the 10 recycling sites.
A few vehicle parts will not be taken. Because of their small explosive charges, airbags, items containing airbags - from steering wheels and dashboards to seats and upholstery - and seat belt tensioners or belt assemblies containing tensioners cannot be accepted.
Also not accepted are items that contain or could contain asbestos, such as brake pads or clutch assemblies.
These must be double bagged in plastic and sealed before being deposited without a charge at one of seven Somerset sites that accept asbestos, including Yeovil.
