What Does it Cost?

There is no cost to Recyclers for the Training or Audit portions of the program.

Vehicles are purchased from the Retire Your Ride Program, and these transactions fund the Call Centre operations.

The value of the vehicles is related to their parts/scrap value, as Program vehicles cannot be resold, and emission related parts, such as engines, cannot be resold.

Presently the vehicle values range from $25 to $100, depending on the province you operate in. These values are subject to change. Please contact the Call Centre in your area for more information.
