What is the process for scrapping a Hu C light motorcycle?
2 Answers
The owner of the motor vehicle should sell the vehicle to a motor vehicle recycling enterprise before the scrapping deadline. The scrapped motor vehicle registration certificate, license plate, and driving license should be submitted to the traffic management department of the public security authority for cancellation. The owner of the motor vehicle fails to complete the cancellation registration within the specified time.
I scrapped my Shanghai C light motorcycle two months ago, and the whole process was much easier than expected. The first step was to check the list of designated recycling companies on the official website of the Shanghai Municipal Transportation Commission and choose one close to home to make a direct phone appointment. I brought my original ID card, vehicle license, and motor vehicle registration certificate. The recycling company verified the traffic violation records before sending someone to tow the motorcycle away. After confirming there were no outstanding fines, they took it away. Once the dismantling was completed at the recycling site, they issued the scrapped vehicle recycling certificate on the spot. I then took this certificate to the vehicle management office to deregister the vehicle and return the license plate. The entire process took less than two days—if you prepare the materials in advance, it can even be done in one day. Shanghai has a subsidy policy for scrapping old vehicles, and after scrapping, you can apply for an environmental subsidy through an online platform to save some money. The key points are to schedule the recycling appointment early and not miss the deregistration step, as it could affect your next vehicle purchase.
