How to recycle a car in 2021? Instructions

Many owners of modern vehicles are interested in the question of how to dispose of a car without documents and cars. There can be many reasons for this, from the buyer’s failure to fulfill obligations to register the purchased equipment to the unwillingness to pay tax deductions for it. They contact the traffic police with a statement to perform a certain action. It is not required to provide the transport itself, no matter what condition it is in; it is enough to follow the established procedure.

Key facts about recycling

On the “drome” (car sales website) there are cars without documents, sold for pennies, often in good condition. They attract buyers, allow them to save significantly on low prices and get good equipment. But for the most part they are vehicles that were once scrapped. This is done for a variety of reasons, the main ones being:

The transport was sold on the basis of a written contract, and the new owner did not register it within the time limits established by law. Often they stop maintaining contact with the seller, and the former owner is forced to fulfill all stipulated obligations.
Physical wear and tear of a passenger vehicle, preventing it from being fully used due to excessive damage. In this case, it is possible to scrap the car without documents and a car, which is a big advantage, as it allows you to save money on a tow truck.
Expensive repairs are required or the car is temporarily idle due to deprivation of rights. This allows you to avoid paying tax on equipment gathering dust in the garage.
Benefit for purchasing a new car when you hand over your worn-out car for recycling. The program is supported at the state level and aims to clear the highways of outdated equipment that is dangerous for the driver and other road users.

Many owners are looking for options on how to dispose of cars without documents and cars, and the reasons described above are not exhaustive. Regardless of them, the procedure is strictly defined by law and everyone who applies to a government agency must comply with it. It will have its own characteristics only if the car has encumbrances or a lien.

Why is car recycling necessary?

Free legal consultation

Most citizens do not understand why car recycling is needed, and some do not trust the program at all. At the same time, many have old vehicles in the garage that are not used in any way, but they have to pay taxes on them. For some, the car recycling program is an opportunity to purchase a completely new car, and for some, it is an opportunity to get rid of unnecessary vehicles and at the same time get more money.

Disposal is an optional procedure, but there are certain situations in which it is necessary:

The car is too old. When disposing of such vehicles, there are two options: the first is to scrap them and get paid for the weight, and the second is to get a good discount on the purchase of a new domestic vehicle. The discount depends on how old the car is. However, this is the essence of the recycling program: getting rid of the old and unnecessary, while purchasing new models from domestic manufacturers at a discount.
A vehicle has been stolen.
Emergency condition of the vehicle.
Factory models are also sent for recycling if a significant defect is found in them, which can interfere with the normal movement of traffic.

It is worth noting that in 2021 some adjustments were made to the recycling program:

funds (subsidies) are given to the regions, and they, in turn, give the car factories compensation for purchases;
Both legal entities and individuals, and even leasing companies can recycle cars (but leasing companies cannot use a new one);
In addition to passenger cars, minibuses, buses, trucks and other vehicles are subject to recycling;
the list of factories that participate in the recycling program has increased (now Nissan and, of course, Lada are also involved);
a “Trade-in” function has been added, according to which the car is handed over not only for recycling, but also for resale (however, if in the first case the car’s age must be more than 10 years, then in the second the car’s age must not exceed 6 years).

If you use the program correctly, you can only win. But the most important thing that interests car owners is how registration takes place, what documents should be prepared and where to apply.

Features of deregistration

As a rule, it is most convenient to dispose of a car without documents and a car at a geographically nearby traffic police department. For this purpose, a certain procedure has been established that must be followed. The process is provided for by current legislation, therefore it applies to all categories of citizens. Destruction of a vehicle, as an official procedure, has the following features:

The registration can be carried out by the owners of the mobile vehicle or their legal representatives, with a power of attorney issued by a notary.
During the process, you must provide all available documents for the car, or explain the reason for their absence.
It is not allowed to scrap a vehicle until it is deregistered with the MREO. It is better to follow the established procedure to eliminate possible problems.
You can simplify the procedure by using the State Services portal. In addition to the State Traffic Inspectorate, citizens apply to any multifunctional center that is closest to their place of residence.

If the car is scrapped, then selling it on drom.ru or another similar Internet resource is considered illegal, since it is essentially a pile of scrap metal. The buyer will not be able to restore it without the participation of the seller, so this equipment is problematic and few people want to purchase it, only very inexpensively.

Car owner's procedure

As we have already said, recycling is a simple process. From July 10, 2017, it consists of only two stages:

physical – destruction of the vehicle at a specialized point or scrapping;
formal - deregistration of the car with the traffic police.

Until July 2021, the procedure was different - first you had to deregister the car with the traffic police. But since often after this the vehicles were not actually disposed of, but continued to stand in garages, courtyards or parking lots, it was decided to stop registering only after providing a confirming document about their actual disposal.

It is clear that physical disposal of the car is not provided for by the traffic police. This is done in special licensed locations. The traffic police only deregister the vehicle so that it is not registered with the former owner and he no longer has to pay transport tax (TN).

This is all you need to know about the first stage of recycling; it does not require any preliminary preparation. It is only important to choose the appropriate method and place. The formal stage has its own nuances.

You can do the disposal yourself, or you can contact a specialized organization. To apply, fill out an application at the office or on the website of such a company. It is worth reading the terms of the contract carefully. The company will draw up documents and take further actions provided that the vehicle has been deregistered and the client has the appropriate certificate in hand.

Most contracts indicate that the owner of the car must provide the company's employees with access to the vehicle, as well as access to the appropriate equipment.

In general, the process goes the same, with the exception of a couple of points:

Along with other documents, you will need to provide an act of writing off the car from the company’s balance sheet. Two copies of the document will be required.
The organization must send its representative. A power of attorney can be issued by the company itself, and not just by a notary.
The calculation of transport tax ceases from the moment the tax service is notified by the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate.

After the car is handed over to the buyer, a period of ten days is allotted for its re-registration. But many purchasers are in no hurry to re-register, despite the fine of one and a half thousand rubles. In this case, the seller continues to pay transport tax, and will also receive fines for violating traffic rules.

In such a situation, there are two options:

Submitting an application to deregister a vehicle.
Registration of vehicle recycling.

At the traffic police department at the place of registration of the person, you need to submit an application to transfer the car to scrap. The vehicle will be subject to appropriate restrictions. The buyer will have one option - to register the transport in his own name, otherwise the equipment may be sent to the impound lot.

Before disposing of a car, it is recommended to try to contact the purchaser and offer him voluntary registration. If communication is impossible or the buyer is still in no hurry, you can proceed to the above steps.

These include the Trade-in program, when an old car is accepted instead of a new one, but not for destruction, but for further sale.

Ordinary buyers of old cars act in exactly the same way, who then either dismantle them for spare parts or sell them.

Removing a car from registration with the traffic police.
Sending (transferring) it for disassembly and recycling.

Moreover, all car owners must remember that deregistration of a car is a mandatory, initial point.

Deregistration for scrapping should only be carried out by its owner, or another person who has a general power of attorney to carry out this procedure.

Removing a car from registration with the traffic police, in a standard situation, involves the following procedure:

Prepare the necessary set of documents: owner’s Russian passport, PTS (technical equipment passport), vehicle registration certificate. You will also need license plates.
Come to the inspection department.
An application with a request to deregister the car is drawn up on the appropriate form.
Next, the inspector inspects the car.
There is a check for unpaid fines and tax arrears.
If everything is normal, the car is deregistered and the owner is issued a confirmation certificate.

After this, the car owner can go to any point that specializes in vehicle recycling to recycle it.

But what if there is no way to provide the car for inspection at the traffic police? How to recycle a car without a car? This often happens after a serious accident, in case of heavy wear and tear, or if the car is stolen.

Currently, a rule has been approved according to which, if a vehicle is deregistered for the purpose of its further processing, which must be indicated in the application, it is not necessary to submit it for inspection to the traffic police. It is enough to provide the necessary documents and numbers.

Also, in some cases, the following situations may arise:

car owners need to dispose of their cars without documents;
It is necessary to deregister vehicles without documents and without license plates.

What to do in such cases?

The question of how to deregister a car with the traffic police for disposal without a set of documents and without a car may arise in the following cases:

After a fire occurred, when some documents for the car were burned.
In case of loss or severe damage of necessary documents.

If such a situation arises, the car owner must know how he can dispose of his car without documents and a car.

In this case, he must write an application for deregistration of the car for the purpose of its further disposal in two copies, as well as with an explanation of why the necessary documents are missing.

If the reason for their absence is loss, then you need to add a line with a promise to immediately provide them after finding them. After repayment of all debts that may be owed by the owner, the vehicle must be deregistered.

Knowing how you can dispose of a car without the necessary documents and registration numbers can be useful in case of their theft, or if, for example, after its sale by proxy, without first deregistering it and an appropriately executed agreement, the new owner is in no hurry to register it registered in your name.

In this scenario, the old owner continues to be taxed.

One reasonable way out of this situation is to remove it from the register for the purpose of further processing. Then, according to legal aspects, the operation of vehicles will be prohibited, he can be detained at any checkpoint and put in a impound lot.

After the new owner pays you all the costs, you can register it again. This opportunity became available this year, but only if the vehicle had not yet been delivered to a vehicle recycling facility.

So, in this case, the owner needs to submit the following to the traffic police department:

Passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation.
Application for deregistration of a car, indicating that it is not possible to provide its registration number and documents.
An explanatory note explaining the reasons for the lack of numbers and documents.
An appropriate note is made in the application, after which the owner is checked for debts.

After this, the car is deregistered and the corresponding data is transferred to the tax office within ten calendar days, which must stop charging the transport tax.

It can be useful in many cases, including being needed to obtain a certificate for a discount when purchasing a new car.

Required documentation package

Disposing of a car without a car at the traffic police without documents will be quite problematic. The applicant is usually required to provide the following documents:

A completed application according to the established template. The form is issued at the branch itself or can be downloaded from the official resource.
Passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation confirming the identity of the owner.
Technical passport for the car.
Registration certificate.
Number, if the buyer has one.
A notarized power of attorney, when carrying out activities by a representative.

After submitting the documents to the inspector, they are submitted for review. If there are no obstacles to completing the action, the car will be deregistered due to disposal. The applicant is issued a special certificate, which he can independently submit to the tax service to stop the accrual of the mandatory payment to the state treasury. The State Traffic Inspectorate itself transmits information about this within two weeks, but sometimes certain difficulties arise.

Is it possible to deregister a car and not dispose of it?

Most drivers know that deregistration of a car is not required in all cases.

The main conditions for deregistration of a motor vehicle from state registration are regulated by Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia “On the Procedure for Registration of Vehicles” No. 1001 dated November 24, 2008 and Order No. 605 “On approval of the administrative regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for the provision of state services for the registration of motor vehicles and trailers for them” dated 08/07/2013, which provide for:

In case of disposal of the car according to the state program.
In the event that illegal actions have been committed against the car, including theft.
When selling a car, according to the new rules, the purchaser must deregister the purchase, but if within 10 days. this did not happen, the responsibility is shifted to the seller. This procedure will be in the interests of the previous owner to be sure of the legality of the future life of the car.
When leaving the country for a long period of time, the car owner must deregister the car in order to register it in the country of residence.

A package of documents for recycling a car by an individual, which is approved by the Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia “On the Procedure for Registration of Vehicles” No. 1001 dated November 24, 2008:

Passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation.
Technical certificate.

Certificate confirming the registration of the car.

Statement of desire to dispose of the vehicle.
Registration plates (if available).
General power of attorney and a notarized copy of the power of attorney (in case of application by a proxy).

If any of the above or even everything is lost, then it’s okay, come with what is available from the list above.

1To dispose of a vehicle completely (with components), you need to collect all the above documents. After which the traffic police inspector will issue the appropriate certificate.

2When writing off a vehicle without recycling the units, you need to carry out a number of additional actions:

Check all the numbers on the units, but if the car is not capable of moving on its own, you should call an expert to your home, who will inspect the car and issue an opinion.
Make payment for the remaining numbered unit during machine recycling.
Give the collected documents to the inspector, who will issue a reference document about the released unit.

The state duty that must be paid for removing a car from state registration during disposal is 200 rubles,” this is for issuing a certificate for released license plate units, which is provided for in Art. 333.33 Tax Code.

Thus, after deregistration of the car, the relevant information will be transferred to the tax office within 10 days for recalculation of the transport tax.

The above package of documents for deregistration of a car for scrap involves filling out a special application form to the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate for the disposal of the car.

1The first thing you need to start with is to indicate the exact name of the traffic police department to which you intend to submit the completed form.

2The second item is to fill in the applicant’s last name, first name and patronymic.

3A further, depending on the reason for which you want to stop registering the vehicle, underline the appropriate wording.

4After this, we enter into the form from the vehicle passport the make and model of the vehicle, its VIN - number, license plates and year of manufacture.

5Next, enter the passport details of the car owner and fill in information about the owner of the vehicle.

The recycling program, which began in 2010, underwent virtually no changes in 2018-2019. Recycling rules for 2018-2019 will not be changed, the same amounts accrued upon disposal remain.

If at the initial stage of the program discount certificates were issued only for the purchase of AvtoVAZ products, now the certificate can be used to purchase any vehicle manufactured in Russia. There are also some changes that came into force in 2017:

money is allocated to regions, which themselves return compensation to car factories based on specific results
Both legal entities (including leasing companies) and individuals can participate in the program
In addition to passenger cars, you can purchase trucks, commercial vehicles, buses
the trade-in principle appeared, when a car is handed over not for destruction, but for sale

Participants who rent out a car under the program are subject to the following requirements:

Russian citizenship
availability of documents for the car
owning a vehicle for at least six months

The car itself must meet certain technical requirements and have:

body
wheels
engine
seats
battery
dashboard
gearbox
electrical equipment
all technical fluids.

The bulk of cars handed over for recycling are old vehicles that have served their purpose. The number of vehicle owners who wished to scrap their car increased significantly after the introduction of the state program. In this case, exchanging an old car for a new one brings the owners 50,000-350,000 rubles.

However, there are other cases when it is necessary to scrap a car for other reasons. In this case, certain difficulties may arise.

Without numbers

According to changes in the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 605 by order No. 139, the internal affairs bodies are required to provide a certificate of actual disposal of the car by a special company. However, there are cases when the machine has been dismantled for a long time, does not have a number or other parts that are considered mandatory for accepting an application for disposal.

With this option, the same order contains lines that allow “stolen, exported from the Russian Federation or lost vehicles” to be recycled and deregistered. That is, if a car is considered lost, it can be deregistered without license plates.

However, in this case you will need to provide not only a passport, application and documents for the car, but also an explanation in writing, which states how the license plates were lost.

Owners whose car has long lost its working shape may be faced with the fact that they are unable to provide documents. The same situation is faced by those whose vehicle was stolen along with the vehicle, or was destroyed as a result of a fire or flood. They are faced with the question of how to dispose of a car without a car at the traffic police without documents.

We suggest you familiarize yourself with: CASCO termination of the contract by the driver or insurance if the policy loses its relevance when selling the car, as well as termination in court and documents for termination

But complete or partial loss of documentation is not a reason why the owner cannot dispose of the car. If the owner has lost the registration certificate, he will also have to supplement the package of documents provided to the traffic police with a statement and an explanatory note that describes the reason for their absence. In this case, he can only contact the traffic police with a passport.

If the reason why it is impossible to provide documents is loss, the explanatory note states that the documents will be provided immediately after they are discovered.

Since a mandatory inspection of the car is not required, only documents for the car, an application and a passport are provided to the traffic police. It is possible to dispose of a car at the traffic police without a car both when it has become completely unusable, and when a car purchased by proxy is not registered, and the former owner cannot find a new one.

Even if the car is running at this time and belongs to another person, his state license plates will be taken away, and the car itself will be confiscated.

In what cases is forced disposal of a car carried out without its presence?

There are several cases in which forced disposal of a car is carried out when the vehicle itself simply does not exist:

complete loss of car performance
fire
vehicle flooding
hijacking
purchase by power of attorney without subsequent re-registration and registration by the new owner.

In all these cases, the owner of the car can carry out disposal registration without the fact of having the vehicle itself.

The vehicle recycling program includes not only cars, but also trucks. In both cases, the registration conditions and the procedure for disposal and deregistration are practically no different. However there are some differences:

a certificate giving the right to a discount when purchasing a new car, when disposing of trucks, is higher than in cases with passenger cars (12-350 thousand rubles versus 20-150 thousand rubles)
You cannot purchase a passenger car to replace a scrapped truck.
If, when handing over a passenger car, the certificate can be used to purchase any brand produced in the Russian Federation, then after recycling the truck, only KAMAZ can be purchased with the certificate attached.

The remaining details of the procedure are no different.

What documents are needed to dispose of a car at the traffic police:

Russian passport
state license plates
vehicle registration certificate
car state registration certificate
certificate or certificate of delivery/acceptance from a recycling point

Legal entities provide in addition to the list:

power of attorney from a legal entity
vehicle fleet code
act of write-off of fixed assets
extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities.

Otherwise, the disposal procedure is completely similar.

Stages of registration

The owner himself has the right to write off the car - if there is no special clause in the power of attorney, even his representative, who has only been given the right to drive or sell the car, cannot do this. There is no automatic disposal due to high mileage; a mandatory desire and personal application of the owner to government agencies is required. The design sequence will be as follows:

Come to the MREO in person or get an appointment pass through the State Services portal.
Submit all available documents for consideration.
Fill out the application form, indicating without errors or corrections all the data regarding the car.
If there are no papers confirming ownership, you will need to write an explanatory note.
Wait for the submitted application to be processed and receive a certificate of deregistration.

There is no need to deliver the old car to the site; a visual assessment by the inspector is not performed when decommissioned. This simplifies the procedure if the car is in another city or in an emergency, non-working condition. To date, payment of state duty for such actions is not provided. Only if an intermediary is involved will you need to pay for his services.

What documents are needed for recycling

How to arrange disposal - for this you need documents that confirm the legal status of the vehicle. You will also need to obtain a certificate from the traffic police (MREO) stating that the car has been deregistered.

Additionally, you may need a certificate from the fire service (from the investigator) stating that the car burned down and cannot be restored.

Documents on the initiation of a criminal case under Art. 158 or art. 166 , 167 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation . They can also be provided upon request to investigative authorities.

Individual and legal entity

The list of documents for a legal entity is wider. It involves the need to provide an act of writing off the car from the organization’s balance sheet (in two copies).

You will also need to submit documents that confirm the powers of the trustee, as well as a certificate of registration of the organization (extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities).

Scroll

What documents are needed to deregister a car for disposal - the applicant will need:

passport (your own) or a legal representative, as well as a representative of a legal entity;
certificate of state registration of a legal entity (if it acts as an applicant);
act of writing off a vehicle from the organization’s balance sheet - in two copies;
documents that confirm the need to deregister the car (certificate from the preliminary investigation authorities, the fire department - in case of destruction of the car).
title documents for the car - agreement, certificate of inheritance or court decision;
PTS, STS of the car;
certificate of technical inspection, insurance policy (optional and only if available);
receipt of payment of state duty.

After inspecting the vehicle, MREO specialists issue a certificate. You will need to provide it when contacting the organization that will accept and disassemble the vehicle. An example of such a document is presented here.

a separate agreement with a commercial organization on the provision of paid services. The package of documents can be provided in person or through a representative. If there is an intermediary, then the application must indicate his name (full name) and information about the power of attorney.

How you can deregister a car with the traffic police after its disposal is written in the article: deregistration of a vehicle due to disposal. All the nuances of recycling old cars are presented here.

Submission order

The applicant can apply to the MREO at the place of his residence or actual stay. The application form can be filled out in advance or done directly upon application.

It is possible to submit documents through the government services portal - this will require prior registration on the website.

The application is submitted electronically in the “Transport” section - “Individuals”. You can also send scanned copies of documents. You can choose a convenient time to make an appointment with a specialist.

Filling out an application on the public services portal does not relieve you of the obligation to personally contact the MREO with original documents.

State duty

The amount of the state duty is, according to Art. 333.33 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation , is 200 rubles . It is possible to pay separately for the work of the recycling organization. The cost of its services is specified in the contract.

The state fee can be paid immediately before submitting the application, including on the government services website. The form of payment with the recycling company is indicated when signing the contract.

How much does recycling cost? The cost depends on the class of the car and its technical condition. You can deliver the car under your own power or use the services of a tow truck, for which you will have to pay separately.

Features of scrap without numbers and documents

Many owners are interested in how to scrap a car without documents. The lack of papers confirming ownership is quite easy to explain. The reason is sometimes that they are transferred for subsequent processing to the buyer, who, in turn, has not completed the task assigned to him. Not less often, their banal loss in a fire or during a move, theft or damage as a result of exposure to water or chemically active solutions occurs.

You can write off by performing the following steps:

Come to the nearest territorial traffic police department with an application for vehicle disposal.
Provide an explanation stating the reason for the loss of documents.
Wait for the results of checking the information provided.

Attention! It is important not to forget to pay all penalties and possible debts; without this, you will not be able to obtain a certificate. If the reason was loss, then it will be possible to write it off faster; in case of theft, you will need to provide a document confirming this fact, for example, a resolution from law enforcement agencies.

Scrap without the car itself

Quite often, car owners are looking for a way to write off a car for scrap without a car, since it may already be physically destroyed or is in the possession of an unscrupulous buyer. In this situation, you can use the service without presenting the vehicle itself for inspection. To do this, the applicant only needs to collect the following set of documents:

Passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation or other identification document of the applicant.
A completed application justifying the reason for write-off (in this situation it is “disposal”).
Explanatory, explaining the owner’s lack of documents and license plates.

The downside of this action, which everyone who wants to dispose of without a car and documents needs to know about, is the cancellation of license plates. If the failed buyer uses such a vehicle in the future, then during a roadside inspection it will be confiscated and sent to a fine yard. In the future, recovery and return will take a lot of time and effort.

It is important to know! The application must include all information about the car without errors or typos. During the verification process, the specialist looks for the presence of debt and prohibitions on performing certain actions. After this, the car is deregistered, about which the applicant receives a corresponding certificate.

Restoring a Salvage Vehicle

There are situations when it is necessary to restore a scrapped car. For example, if the owner first arranged for disposal to avoid taxes, and then decided to sell the vehicle. Alternatively, you can sell such a car by proxy. But not every new owner is happy with this way out of the situation. Therefore, in order to successfully conclude a purchase and sale agreement, you should restore the car. It is worth noting that only the first owner, who handed over the car for recycling, can deal with all the paperwork.

First you need to prepare the documents:

technical passport for car maintenance;
vehicle owner's passport;
application with a request to register the car;
tax payment receipt;
car registration certificate.

The application must be written to the head of the traffic police. The paper should include the car's license plates, year of manufacture, body color, engine and body number.

After the application has been reviewed, the car will need to be delivered to the MREO (this can only be done using a tow truck). If all the documents are in order, the car will be entered into the database again, new license plates will be issued - and the owner will be able to use the vehicle as needed.

Opportunities to receive

When looking for options on how to write off a car for scrap without documents and without a car, you should consider not only the government structure itself, as the only place to receive the service, but also other possible options. Today, for these purposes, there are multifunctional ones that simplify the process. By using the Internet, you don’t have to spend a lot of time filling out an application. The procedure for using the official resource will be as follows:

Go to the portal and register. You will need to go through the procedure of personal identification, entering passport data and place of registration.
In the list provided, select the “Vehicle Registration” section.
Click on the link directing you to receive the car deregistration service.
After familiarizing yourself with the procedure for using the site and the features of filling out an application through it, click the blue “Get a service” button located on the right side.
Carefully fill out the application, entering all the data from the registration certificate and PTS. Particular attention should be paid to fields marked as required.
Select from the list provided the territorial office closest to your place of residence. Decide on the date and time of your visit.
After entering all the data, check the box indicating that you agree to familiarize yourself with the procedure, and then you must confirm sending the application for consideration to the government agency.

Recycling a car is thus much easier, but this does not eliminate the need to personally visit the government agency. Simply an application in which all the information has been entered online significantly reduces the time spent on completing the action. In addition, there is no need to waste time waiting in line, since the visit is clearly defined and should be strictly observed.

It is important to know! The Gosuslugi website can be used not only by the owner of the vehicle, but also by their legal representatives. To do this, at the very top you must indicate all the details of the power of attorney on the basis of which the person acts.

Disposal of a vehicle is not a mandatory procedure if the car is physically worn out or has not been used by the owner for a long time. However, deregistration will allow you not to pay tax every year on a pile of scrap metal, or to receive a certificate for the purchase of new equipment under the state program. Therefore, it is worth considering spending a few hours to receive this government service. It is simple and relatively quick if you prepare for it correctly and take all the necessary documents with you.

Possible difficulties during the procedure

Only specialized companies that have received permission to provide such services can recycle cars (when this is done within the framework of a state program).

If a dealer is involved in the process, then a power of attorney is issued to him and all work is performed by an employee of such a company. Including on the basis of a power of attorney, he independently applies to the traffic police. If the owner is engaged in recycling on his own, he needs to choose a company that has the appropriate permit and contact it.

We suggest you read: Until what age is a child considered small by law?

It should be borne in mind that each of these specialized companies independently sets a price tag for services, which may include payment for the operation of the tow truck and other expenses.

After the car is transferred to the recyclers, they issue a transfer and acceptance certificate to the former owner.

In some cases, the car was registered in one region, but it is supposed to be sent for scrap in another. Previously, the driver would have had to go to the place where the vehicle was registered, but after amendments to legal norms, this procedure can be carried out at any traffic police department in the country.

A situation is acceptable when the owner does not want to dispose of some parts (for example, an engine). Then he will need to write an application for recycling with a note about the issuance of certificates for the specified parts.

If the car was sold by proxy (although such a procedure can hardly be called a sale in full, in practice this happens often), and the new owner does not pay taxes, the following actions are recommended:

Cancel the power of attorney and start searching for the car. However, in such a situation, it will be necessary to resolve all financial issues with the acquirer.
Find a buyer for the purpose of re-registration.
Carry out the vehicle recycling procedure.

The choice of action lies entirely with the seller. But before writing off the car for scrap, it is recommended to contact a trusted person. Paying taxes in this situation is in his interests.

Car disposal is a common procedure. Contrary to misconceptions, it is possible to dispose of a car even in the absence of documents for it, and in the actual absence of the equipment itself. The owner only needs to submit a corresponding application to the traffic police and pay a fee.

The procedure for destroying vehicles is carried out by specialized companies that have the appropriate permission to conduct this type of activity.

After deregistering a vehicle, its owner can go in two ways:

Contact such a company yourself.
Contact the car dealer from whom he intends to purchase a new car.

After this, when the car is transferred to this company, you will be given the relevant documents, including a transfer and acceptance certificate.

If you contact a car dealer, then, as a rule, after concluding an appropriate agreement, he takes full responsibility for delivering your old car for recycling.

Thus, dealer companies included in the recycling program provide themselves with a certain increase in customers.

In conclusion, I would like to warn all car owners who want to dispose of their car against a formal approach to this procedure.

At each stage, you must strictly follow the provisions of the law and carefully check all documents being filled out, accepted and issued. There should not be a single mistake in them.
