Removing junk cars and trucks from your property can have a significant impact on the way to property looks. In some places, you are only allowed to keep running vehicles on your property, but finding a junk car removal solution to get rid of older vehicles is sometimes challenging. 

Vehicle Salvage

One solution for junk car removal is to have an auto salvage pick the car or truck up and tow it away for you. Often the salvage operator will send a truck out to collect the car at no cost if you turn the vehicle over to them so they can take any good parts off and scrap the remaining materials. 

Some salvage operators will pay for the vehicle if you bring it in, but if the vehicle does not run, that may not be possible. The value often lies in the parts, not the entire vehicle, so if you have an old car that you have added new parts to recently, let the salvage operator know, and they may be willing to give you a small amount of money for it.

A newer vehicle with collision damage may be more valuable to salvage yards because they have more parts they can sell for profit. However, if you have an older car that is rare, and it has a lot of good parts on it, the salvage operator may be willing to pay for it because they can quickly and easily recover the costs by selling the usable parts. 

Junk Car Removal Services

Junk car removal services are becoming more common in many areas. Often these services are not affiliated with local salvage yards and are only interested in old vehicles for their scrap value.

The junk car removal service will come and haul the car or truck away for you at no cost then remove all the none metallic parts off the vehicle and take the rest to a scrap yard that buys cars. The vehicle is weighed and the service gets paid for the scrap, then the car is crushed and sent on to processing and recycling. 

Scraping the entire car is an excellent way to make a profit on a vehicle that has very few good parts, so the junk car removal service is willing to take vehicles that are in pieces or have a lot of rust or damage. The service will not repair the vehicle, so they concentrate only on the metal weight to make their money. 

Some removal services will offer you a small cash payment for scrap cars or trucks, but typically it is a small amount. The real bargain in using these services is that they remove the vehicle without charging you anything, so if you need the car or truck out of the yard, you can get it done quickly and often for free.
