Depending on its condition, you might get more money scrapping an old vehicle than selling it to a dealership. From tires to windshield glass and transmissions, you can recycle numerous car parts. To prepare to drop your car off at the scrapyard, follow the steps outlined here. 

What to Do Before Scrapping Your Car 

1. Remove Belongings

Once you transfer car ownership to the scrapyard, you usually can’t go back and retrieve forgotten items later. So you don’t lose possessions, go through the cabin and remove all personal items in consoles, under mats, on seats, and inside the glove compartment. Take out belongings in the trunk, too.

2. Cancel Insurance

So you don’t accidentally continue making payments, cancel car insurance coverage. Terminate the policy the day you take the car to the scrapyard. Make sure the plan is still valid until the end of that day, as it will cover the cost of damage during transport.

3. Locate Your Title

In order to get paid for your car, you must have the title and the owner must have proper identification. The owner of the vehicle must be present at the time of sale.
