DRIVERS can get some cash for their old bangers under a new scheme in east Cleveland.
The aim of Operation Magpie is to combat the growing number of abandoned vehicles, which has tripled over the past two years.
The joint police, fire brigade and Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council initiative will reward people with £10 when they hand their old bangers in.
Residents will need to book an appointment to deliver their cars to one of two designated disposal sites.
They are Cleveland Recovery, Puddlers Road, South Bank, telephone (01642) 456854, or Wilkinson Brothers Recovery, on the Skelton Industrial Estate, telephone (01287) 654141.
