There are subsidies for scrapping cars. Here are the relevant details: 1. Orderly Promotion: Multiple measures will be taken to promote car consumption, better meet residents' travel needs, and orderly advance the scrapping and renewal of old cars. The remanufacturing and reuse of the "five major assemblies" from scrapped cars will be allowed as per regulations. In areas with conditions, market trading platforms can be utilized to provide appropriate subsidies to car owners who scrap vehicles meeting National III and below emission standards and purchase new cars simultaneously. 2. Pollution Control Measures: Regions with significant achievements in pollution control measures such as phasing out and renewing old diesel trucks and promoting the use of new energy vehicles will receive appropriate financial support from the central government when allocating related funds. 3. Continuous Optimization of New Energy Vehicle Subsidy Structure: Adhering to the principle of supporting the excellent and strong, more subsidies will be allocated to support the sales of new energy vehicles with advanced comprehensive performance, encouraging the development of high-tech new energy vehicles. Implement differentiated traffic management policies for new energy trucks to provide traffic convenience and expand the scope of traffic.
Well, I just scrapped an old car and indeed got some money. Last year, I scrapped an old Santana by contacting an official recycling center. They towed the car away for dismantling and gave me 800 yuan, which included a 500-yuan government subsidy and the scrap steel value. The whole process was very simple—just submit the vehicle license and ID proof, and it was done in half a day. Although the amount isn’t much, scrapping the old car was hassle-free and helped reduce pollution—after all, the emissions from old cars are severe. I recommend everyone go through official channels to avoid the risks of illegal car sales. Next time I replace my car, I’ll definitely prioritize scrapping it—at least it earns some pocket money, which is better than letting it rot at home.
