The Environmental Case for Responsible Scrapping

A vehicle contains roughly 25 litres of potentially hazardous fluids — engine oil, coolant, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and battery acid. Improperly disposed vehicles leak these into soil and groundwater. We work with licensed BC auto recyclers who follow provincial environmental standards for fluid extraction and metal processing.

What Happens to Your Scraped Car

Once we tow your vehicle, it goes to a licensed auto recycler. Fluids are drained and properly disposed. Usable parts are catalogued and sold into the used parts market. The remaining metal carcass is crushed and sent to a metal processor, where it becomes raw material for new manufacturing. Nothing is landfilled unnecessarily.

Common Questions About Scrap Cars

Is scrapping my car better for the environment than abandoning it?

Significantly. An abandoned vehicle leaks harmful fluids for years and eventually rusts into the ground. Proper scrapping extracts and safely disposes of all fluids and recycles over 80% of the vehicle by weight.

Do I get a certificate of destruction when I scrap my car in BC?

After the vehicle is scrapped, ICBC is notified through the transfer process. You can request documentation from the recycler. The ICBC system updates within days of the transfer.

Can I scrap a vehicle with a salvage title in BC?

Yes. Salvage vehicles are one of our most common scrap purchases. Bring the salvage certificate from ICBC — you'll need that instead of the regular registration.

My car has catalytic converters — does that increase the scrap value?

Yes. Catalytic converters contain precious metals and add to the vehicle's total value. A complete vehicle with intact cats typically pays more than one where they've been removed.

Can I scrap a car that's still registered and insured?

Yes. The registration transfers to us through the APV9T form. After pickup, take your plates to an Autoplan broker to cancel the insurance and get a refund on unused coverage.
