What Do You Need To Know Before You REcycle Your Junk CAr?

Massachusetts Laws Regarding REcycling A Junk Vehicle

According to state law, any company that plans to junk or scrap a car must be able to turn over proof of ownership including the Certificate of Title or Salvage Title to the RMV within 10 days of receiving the vehicle. Most of this work will be handled by the business you work with to recycle your car. However, they will likely ask you to transfer ownership to them by providing them with your certificate or other ownership documents to ensure that your vehicle is not registered or titled again. Your vehicle must also have the VIN attached throughout the process of destruction.

How Do I Get The Most Cash For My Junk Car?

If you are looking to get the most for your junk vehicle you should consider the factors that will affect what it is worth. First and foremost, the price of scrap metal is constantly rising and falling based on the supply and demand for metal. Tracking pricing is a great way to get the most for your car. Another thing to consider is who you are selling your car to. A company like Chuckran Auto Parts can get more value out of a car because we can resell the parts of your car that are in good condition and scrap the rest of your car. Because of that we are able to offer you the most for a whole vehicle that is in good condition. 

Can Someone Pick-up My Junk Car?

If you simply want to get rid of a junk vehicle that is stuck in your yard, garage, or driveway, there are a variety of companies that likely provide pick-up and drop-off services for junk vehicles. Here in Massachusetts, we provide pick-up services throughout the south shore area. Consider looking into a local provider that provides pick-up services in your area. Before scheduling the pick-up they will likely need the same documents as mentioned before so that they can legally mark the vehicle for destruction in accordance with state laws.
