Where to Scrap a Motorcycle?
2 Answers
Scrap motorcycles should be registered for cancellation with the traffic management department within seven days of selling the motorcycle for scrap, with the required certificates. Below is relevant information about motorcycle scrapping: 1. Motorcycle scrapping regulations: According to Article 11 of the "Mandatory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles," which came into effect on May 1, 2013, the "Interim Provisions on Motorcycle Scrapping Standards" (Order No. 33 of 2002 by the State Economic and Trade Commission, the State Development Planning Commission, the Ministry of Public Security, and the State Environmental Protection Administration) are simultaneously repealed. 2. Uses of scrapped motorcycles: Workers at used motorcycle recycling stations dismantle and classify various parts, selling the disassembled components to corresponding recycling companies, which then flow back into the market.
When disposing of my motorcycle as scrap, I first found a licensed scrap recycling company locally by searching 'motorcycle scrap recycling' on my mobile map to locate nearby points. They provided a recycling certificate when towing the bike away. After that, I took my ID card and this certificate to the DMV to complete the deregistration process, remembering to remove and return the license plate. The entire process took about half a month, and I even received a 200-yuan subsidy for my 125cc bike. Before scrapping, make sure to settle all traffic violation fines, or you'll make a wasted trip. I recommend calling the recycling company in advance to ask what materials are needed—some require the original vehicle license, while others ask for a copy of the registration certificate. Having everything prepared saves time.
