Where can I recycle my car in Richmond?

What happens to a car recycled in Richmond

Richmond cars often arrive with more rust than most, especially from Steveston, but the process is the same. Fluids first, then the battery and refrigerant, then reusable parts, then metals. Rust doesn't stop a car being recycled. It just means more of it ends up as steel and less as reusable parts.

A Richmond car that's still worth fixing goes back on the road instead. There's a fuller walk-through on our Vancouver auto recycling page.

Why it matters in Richmond

Richmond sits on islands at the mouth of the Fraser, mostly low-lying, protected by dykes and drained by a network of ditches, canals and pump stations. Water that runs off a driveway doesn't have far to go before it reaches that system, and from there the river.

That's why a car leaking oil or coolant matters more here than in most places. Recycling it properly means the fluids are drained and collected, not left to seep into a ditch beside a farm field or a back lane.

★★★★★
Noble towing is now the only company that I will use. Service provided was professional and on time. We made arrangements for a certain time and Noble Towing was there on time and even confirmed 15-20 min beforehand. Noble Towing turned a stressful situation into something that was super easy to deal with. Highly recommend this service!

Auto recycling in Richmond: questions

Can you recycle a car from a City Centre parkade?

Usually. Send the parkade level and clearance height, and we'll confirm before booking.

Do you recycle farm trucks from East Richmond?

Yes, running or not. Tell us about the access and the ground.

Does rust from living near the water stop a car being recycled?

No. Rusty cars are recycled the same way. More of the car goes to steel and less to reusable parts, which can lower the price a little.

Is it the same as junk car removal?

The pickup is the same. If your car is unwanted rather than finished, see junk car removal in Richmond.
