Car Scrapping News

In a September, 2015 update, The California Environmental Protection Agency has reported their program offering a cash incentive to encourage removal of junk cars and scrap cars, which could be named a “cash for cars” program. The state is essentially acting as a junk car buyer in this cash for cars (aka cash for clunkers) project. Unlike with most junk car buyers, that base the junk car quote on varying factors, the amounts available (being offered) for junk car removal are either $1,000 or $1,500, depending on the income of the junk vehicle seller. If asking where to scrap my car in CA, the state program is going to be the highest junk car buyer available in most cases. The requirement for this “scrap my car” program is that the vehicle must be unable to pass the state’s rigid emissions test.

Cash for Cars Details:

California’s updated voluntary vehicle retirement program is now available. The program is administered by the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) & provides $1,000 per vehicle & $1,500 for low-income consumers for unwanted vehicles having failed the Smog Check Test & that meet eligibility guidelines. Voluntary accelerated vehicle retirement or “car scrap” programs provide monetary incentives to vehicle owners to retire older, more polluting vehicles. The purpose of these programs is to reduce fleet emissions by accelerating the turnover of the existing fleet & replacement with newer, cleaner vehicles. Reducing emissions from the existing fleet is a component of CA’s Implementation Plan, which outlines the strategy for meeting health-based air quality standards. The State’s Consumer Assistance Program (CAP) was developed by the ARB in consultation with BAR. Local voluntary accelerated vehicle retirement (VAVR) programs are also available for vehicles that have PASSED their most recent Smog Check or are not subject to the Smog Check requirement. Administration of a VAVR program is entirely optional. As such, check ARB’s VAVR website for more information related to district programs and to see if your district offers one.”
