Vehicle Recycling Programs
Recycle Your Ride
Members of the Automotive Recyclers’ Environmental Association (AREA) support and participate in one ore more of three programs whereby you can dispose of your unwanted vehicle with the confidence that it will be processed in an environmentally responsible manner. The programs vary a little in how they work, so we encourage you to explore all three and choose the one that matches your preferences.
SCRAP-IT was the first program of its kind in Canada, modeled after similar Voluntary Accelerated Vehicle Retirement programs in the US. An air-emissions reduction program, SCRAP-IT was designed to take older, high-polluting vehicles off the road.
Retire Your Ride is Canada’s top end-of-life vehicle scrappage program for both the environment and your wallet. It’s the official national program, managed by the Automotive Recyclers of Canada.
Car Heaven is the only national charitable vehicle recycling program using authorized Automotive Recyclers of Canada members who follow a strict code of practice.
