WELCOME TO THE
BC SCRAP-ITŪ PROGRAM
Working in Partnership
with:
The BC SCRAP-ITŪ Program is a voluntary
early retirement vehicle program that provides incentives
to help British Columbians replace higher polluting
vehicles with cleaner forms of transportation. The program
is designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to
lower exhaust pollutants across the province. All scrapped
vehicles and their components are permanently and properly
recycled.
If you retire your 1995
or older vehicle, you will be able to choose from
a long list of incentives including transit passes,
bicycles, car sharing memberships, new or used
cars, or $300 cash.

Vehicle models 1995 and
older emit approximately 19 times more smog forming
emissions than 2004 and later models. Replacing a 1990
sedan with a 2009 hybrid can result in a reduction of
up to 67% in greenhouse gas emissions.
