Retire Your Ride is Winding Down

The program comes to an end this month but it was a great RIDE! This program was very progressive and was a great help in getting older, higher polluting cars off the roads. Let's take another look at the details:

Retire Your Ride is an initiative of The Government of Canada, Summerhill Impact and its partners, designed to enable people to get their high-polluting cars off the road and reward them for doing so. The program is committed to improving air quality by responsibly recycling vehicles and aims to retire at least 50,000 vehicles per year until March 31, 2011.

If you have a car that needs retiring, we’ll recycle its parts in an environmentally responsible way, and reward you for it.
Reducing Emissions and Saving the Environment

Did you know that 1995 model year and older vehicles produce 19 times more smog-forming pollutants than 2004 and newer models?

By ensuring that vehicles are properly recycled, we can prevent the release of toxins into the environment. By retiring vehicles earlier, you’ll be helping reduce harmful emissions.

Now that it is ending everyone should still remember that auto recyclers will not be going anywhere and will still accept your old, high polluting cars in exchange for cash!
