The process for scrapping a car is as follows: 1. The car owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out and stamp the "Motor Vehicle Alteration, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, and Scrapping Approval Form" in duplicate. 2. Register and review the application. For vehicles that have reached the scrapping age, issue the "Vehicle Scrapping Notice". For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping age but are deemed to meet the scrapping standards after inspection, issue the "Vehicle Scrapping Notice". 3. Recover the license plates and certificates, and submit them for approval as required. 4. The car owner should take the "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" to a qualified recycling company to deliver the vehicle. 5. After verifying the "Vehicle Scrapping Notice", the recycling company will dismantle the vehicle, requiring the engine to be separated from the vehicle, the engine block to be broken, the chassis frame to be cut, and then photograph the process, issue the "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and pay the residual value. 6. The car owner should hold the "Approval Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle. 7. After inspection, verification, and signing, proceed with the scrapping registration. 8. Complete the scrapping deregistration.
Last year, I scrapped my family's old car, and the process went quite smoothly. First, I made sure the car was indeed scrapped and couldn't be driven on the road. Then, I prepared copies of my ID card and the vehicle registration certificate. I searched for an authorized recycling company on my phone, called to schedule a time, and they quickly sent a tow truck to pick up the car for free. At the recycling station, the staff helped fill out forms and checked my documents. Within a few days, I received the scrapping certificate. I took the certificate to the DMV to deregister the vehicle. Finally, I applied for a government subsidy, saving on car maintenance costs. The whole process took about four to five days to complete—it was both cost-effective and eco-friendly, and even a beginner could handle it easily.
