Recycling a car in some countries is a mandatory procedure, but in Russia it was paid attention only in 2010, when favorable conditions for car delivery appeared at the suggestion of the government. Cars can't run forever. Everyone has it vehicle there is an expiration date, after which the manufacturer encourages citizens to hand over the products to the scrap.
In 2017, the official car recycling program is still active, although there is no guarantee for a further extension, as well as the official website of the program.
What is the state car recycling program? How does it work?
Recycling of old cars has long been practiced all over the world. The essence of the new state program is a procedure in which the owner gets rid of old car. It becomes scrap metal, which is collected and recycled at certain landfills. Such actions are driven by the need to protect the environment and ensure road safety.
In Russia, these points are supplemented by the possibility of increasing sales of the domestic auto industry. After all, recycling an old car usually ends with the purchase of a new car. Due to the positive impact on the state, the preferential recycling program in Russia is constantly being extended.
A person who plans to participate in the program has 2 options for the development of events:
- Selling a car for scrap;
- Participation in the Trade-in program.
Both scenarios involve obtaining a discount on new car. However, the amount depends on whether the old car becomes scrap metal or is resold. Also, the brand and model of the car affects the size of the discount.
The 2017 state recycling program accepts almost all cars. But there are certain requirements that the vehicle must meet.
Requirements for the participation of vehicles in the recycling program:
Year of issue. By 2017, this criterion has practically ceased to be considered, however, you can count on a discount only when you return a car manufactured in 1999 or later. In this case, the status of the "old" machine must be preserved. Products older than 6 years are sent for scrap, and cars older than 10 years are not suitable for trade-in.
Own. In order to avoid claims from the owners, only those cars that have been owned for more than 6 months are allowed to be scrapped. This description does not fit cars with an unpaid loan, as well as those issued to several owners.
Compliance with specifications. The vehicle must not be refurbished or repaired with parts from other makes and models. Theoretically, the device should be on the go.
BUT! The vehicle is delivered to the dealership by a tow truck at the expense of the owner, since by the time of delivery it must be deregistered. Only citizens of the Russian Federation can use the preferential program.
Which cars are included in the program, which cars can be returned?
Any vehicle that meets the conditions is subject to recycling. Depending on the specific model and brand, the amount of compensation may vary:
- Alfa Romeo - up to 50 thousand;
- Datsun - 70 thousand;
- Citroen - up to 50 thousand;
- Ford - up to 200 thousand;
- Kia - up to 75 thousand;
- Hyundai - up to 50 thousand;
- Mitsubishi - up to 75 thousand;
- Mazda - up to 95 thousand;
- Nissan - up to 100 thousand;
- Opel - up to 140 thousand;
- SsangYong - up to 120 thousand;
- Peugeot - up to 50 thousand;
- Renault - up to 50 thousand;
- Skoda - up to 130 thousand;
- Volkswagen - up to 90 thousand;
- VAZ - up to 90 thousand;
- GAS - up to 350 thousand;
- UAZ - up to 120 thousand.
Also suitable for recycling are Audi, BMW, Subaru, Toyota, Suzuki, Iveco, Mercedes, Infinity, Fiat, Great Wall, Lexus, Chevrolet, IZH-Lada (see). However, information on how the program works and on compensation for the scrap of these cars should be sought on the websites of dealers. The maximum amount of compensation paid to the scrap metal. You can spend this discount only on buying a new car assembled in Russia (see. The discount is not paid in cash, so it can only be spent on buying a car. At the same time, the price of a car cannot be overstated by a car dealership above the cost that recommended by the manufacturer.
The timing of the recycling program, how long will it be extended?
The timing of the program has not been finalized, so it is not yet possible to say exactly when the program will be extended for 2018. Programs like this one are discussed and approved annually, but there was talk of a possible near completion as early as the end of 2015.
Attention! A car can only be scrapped if it was deregistered in the same year.
What documents are required to participate in the recycling program?
The procedure for scrapping a car is quite capacious and complicated, but the car owner will have to provide only a few documents to participate in the promotion:
- The passport. Only citizens of Russia participate in the promotion, so the owner of the vehicle must present his valid internal passport.
- The act of scrapping the car, which indicates the amount of the agreed discount on the purchase of a new car.
- PTS. The most important marks in the PTS are the period of ownership of the bearer, as well as the mark of deregistration.
- A mark on deregistration of a car with the traffic police can be presented not only in the form of a stamp in the TCP. A certificate from the traffic police or a vehicle registration card is also suitable.
The dealer deals with all the nuances of handing over the car for scrap. Therefore, the owner of the vehicle only needs to choose a dealership, familiarize himself with payments under the state program on the website or talk to employees by phone. It is advisable to immediately check with the car dealership whether the car recycling program is in effect and what payments are available. After the center is finally selected, the car owner must draw up documents for deregistration of a car and deliver it to the salon.
If you participate in the recycling program, you will also have to pay an additional fee for this procedure. Pass old car under the recycling program will cost 6-15 thousand rubles, depending on which option is used, because for trade-in, the services of a dealer for the sale are paid old model. Plus, you need to pay for the services of a tow truck yourself.
How to buy a car under the recycling program?
The purchase of a car takes place in the same salon where the client applied to return his old car. However, this is not a mandatory step, you can make a deal in different places. Also, when buying, there is the possibility of obtaining a loan. In this case, a certificate of car recycling is added to the list of documents for obtaining a car loan.
As a result, the instruction on how to purchase a car under the recycling program is as follows.
Instructions: how to purchase a car under the recycling program:
- Draw up a contract for the purchase of a car;
- Collect documents for disposal (your passport and a certificate of deregistration of the vehicle with the traffic police);
- Dispose of the machine and obtain a certificate of this procedure;
- Transfer the certificate to the salon and pay for the services of the dealer.
- The certificate discount will be deducted when calculating the final cost of the new vehicle.
Recycling scheme for trucks does not differ from actions with a passenger car. The difference will be only in the cost of compensation. Although the price range of discounts largely depends on the make and model of the car, there is also a ranking by their type.
If you can get about 50 thousand rubles for a passenger car, then the “cost” of trucks and commercial vehicles starts at 90 thousand. In this case, weight plays a role. For example, trucks and buses weighing from 2.5 to 3.1 tons are the lightest, so compensation for them is about 100-120 thousand rubles. While the most massive vehicles weighing over 7.5 tons compensate 300-350 thousand when buying a new product.
Arrange recycling trucks can be both physical and legal entities. The conditions for the procedure are identical to those for cars, so the dealer does most of the work. The client needs a minimum of documents and a power of attorney in the name of the salon, if the buyer does not want to deregister the vehicle with the traffic police.
For several years, car recycling has been taking place in Russia with the support of the state. This program also operates in Belarus. Under its terms, any car owner can hand over his car for recycling and get a discount on the purchase of a new car. The car recycling program in 2020 received about ten billion rubles from the federal budget, but the program conditions for participants have changed somewhat.
How did the recycling program come about?
Auto recycling appeared in Russia in 2010. Thus, the authorities encouraged citizens to purchase more modern cars. For scrapping a vehicle older than 10 years, you could get 50 thousand rubles to buy a new one, this is a good financial help in the face of rising car prices. Everyone was in the black: car owners received more modern machines, the state stimulated the motor transport market and relieved the cities of obsolete and obsolete Soviet cars.
Benefits of recycling and changing conditions
The car recycling project was created to support the domestic auto industry, which, of course, is a rather logical decision of the authorities in the context of general economic instability. Such a move allows Russian automakers to stay afloat and bring money to the budget.
Another plus is the reduction in the percentage of old cars in poor condition on the roads. This not only reduces the risk of accidents, but also has a positive effect on the environment.
The owners of old Zhiguli and Cossacks also appreciated the idea of how to dispose of a car: in the used car market, their cars do not represent any value, and they can be scrapped for a fairly decent amount.
The main innovation of this year is that the program began to accept not only passenger cars and SUVs, but also buses as well freight transport. In addition, you can now both purchase and rent both Russian car, and a foreign car, if it was assembled in Russia. Thus, the list of potential participants in the car recycling program in 2020 has expanded significantly.
Program conditions, procedure and timing
A citizen can become a participant in the recycling program Russian Federation, or an organization registered in the territory of the Russian Federation. In exchange for the car, the participant receives a coupon for the corresponding amount, which cannot be cashed out. With this coupon, he can apply to any car dealership that sells cars that meet the conditions of the car recycling program in Russia in 2020.
Year of manufacture, country of manufacture and age of the car
You can dispose of a machine that has been in operation for more than 6 years, i.e. issued no later than 2012. Only cars accepted Russian production, or foreign cars assembled in Russia. The machine can only be disposed of by the owner who purchased it at least six months ago.
Car type and discount amount
You can scrap a car, a jeep, a car of small, medium or large capacity, a truck, a bus. How much it costs to dispose of a car depends on its category, age, condition, specifications. The size of the discount for the purchase of a new car will range from 50-350 thousand rubles. The greatest discount will bring the recycling of trucks.
The received coupon can be presented when purchasing all cars produced by AvtoVAZ, UAZ, GAZ and foreign cars produced under license in Russia, such as Volkswagen, Skoda, Opel, Nissan, Ford, SsangYong, Renault. The amount of the discount in this case will depend not only on what brand of car was scrapped, but also on the model of the purchased vehicle. Least discount on Renault Logan and Sander - only 25 thousand rubles. For VAZ, Peugeot, Citroen cars, as well as most model range Ford firms, the discount can already be up to 50 thousand rubles.
The program represents the greatest benefit for buyers of medium-duty trucks manufactured by GAZ - up to 350 thousand rubles.
Technical condition of the scrapped car
The rented car must be able to drive to the place of disposal under its own power. If the car does not drive or even start, it will not be accepted. The complete set of the car is also important. In principle, the absence of serious damage to the body, all lubricants and other fluids must be in sufficient volume.
What paperwork is needed to scrap a car?
You will need to provide the following papers:
- Russian passport;
- documents for the car;
- papers confirming the right to own a car for the last six months.
If the documents are in order, the owner of the vehicle signs an agreement with the car dealer to buy a car at a discount and gives his old car for recycling, drawing up a power of attorney for this purpose. Documents that will be required for scrapping should be collected in advance.
The dealer independently carries out all stages of recycling, and upon completion, gives the client a certificate of recycling and confirmation of deregistration of the car. Based on these two papers and the agreement signed with the dealer, the motorist can buy new car using the program discount.
What do they do with the old car?
When a machine handed over for recycling is taken apart, the first thing to do is to remove components from it, clean it of technical fluids, dismantle glass, rubber parts and other non-metal elements. Tires and other non-metallic items are disposed of separately. The iron frame of the machine is sent under the press and then melted down. The remaining parts are sent for modernization, or destroyed.
Can I refuse to buy a new car?
According to the rules of the program, the money that the owner of the recycled car receives can only be spent on the purchase of a new car, the contract for the purchase of which is drawn up even before the moment of disposal. At the same time, you can buy a car at a discount only once, the discount does not apply to subsequent recycled cars, they are accepted as scrap metal.
Trade-in program
You can get a discount on a new car without recycling. To do this, it is enough to come for a purchase to any salon in Moscow that operates under the trade-in program, which implies a discount on a new car when selling your old one to a car dealer.
In order for a car dealership to accept a car as payment, it must meet the following criteria:
- be in good working order, only minor defects are permissible;
- only cars that have not been in an accident, without traces of an accident, are accepted. Damage, even if repaired, will significantly reduce compensation;
- the older the car, the less the benefit;
- the car owner must be the owner of the car being sold for at least six months.
It is possible to rent both a domestic car and a foreign car, without any restrictions. All papers and certificates must be available, and the car is free from any encumbrances in the form of a deposit or a lease agreement. In order for the dealer to appreciate the car at its true worth, you should polish it before selling it, get rid of minor defects.
Recycling fee: who pays?
What is a recycling fee? According to paragraph 1 of Art. 24-1 of Law No. 89-FZ “On Production and Consumption Wastes”, each car purchaser must pay this fee, which will later be spent on the disposal of the car in accordance with environmental safety rules.
The recycling fee is paid when importing a car from abroad. If the car was produced in Russia, then the payment remains on the conscience of the manufacturer, the fee for vehicles manufactured in other countries is paid by the one who imports the car into the territory of the Russian Federation. A recycling fee is charged for cars only once.
You do not need to pay a recycling fee if:
- the car is over 30 years old, used for non-commercial purposes, the original frame, body and engine are intact;
- a car owned by a diplomatic mission, consulate, international company, or an employee of any of these institutions, members of his family.
How to remove a car from the register for disposal, is it necessary to have the car itself, numbers and documents for the procedure?
You can deregister a car for recycling at the traffic police department. The following papers will be required:
- written statement;
- Russian passport;
- PTS (if any);
- Certificate confirming registration (if any);
- registration marks (if any);
- a general power of attorney and its notarized copy, if the car is scrapped by a trusted person.
After all the necessary documents are provided, the car owner receives a receipt for payment of the state duty, pays it and waits for the deregistration statement.
From this list it is clear that the presence of license plates and documents for the car is not necessary in order to deregister the car under the recycling program. It's as real as scrapping a car without a car. It is enough to submit to the MREO along with the application an explanatory note stating that the car has already been disposed of.
If the car is unsuitable for further use, in order to deregister it, you need to:
- Arrive at the nearest interdistrict registration and examination department of the traffic police with all the necessary documents.
- Fill out an application for recycling, in which you indicate the need to deregister the car in connection with its decommissioning.
- Write an explanatory note following the example of the examples hanging on the MREO information board.
- Hand over papers.
- Get a deregistration certificate.
If, during the disposal of the machine, some elements are planned to be removed for subsequent sale, it is necessary to write to the MREO a corresponding application for issuing an act for them, present the elements for inspection and submit an application with explanations to the receiving window. MREO employees will issue a certificate for the seized unit along with an extract from the register.
Is it possible to restore a car from scrap and how to register it?
Many people ask the question, is it possible to register a scrapped car? There is a way to restore a scrapped car, which was written off according to the documents, and again register the car with the traffic police. The exception is those cars for which their owners received monetary compensation under the state recycling program.
If the car was scrapped without buying a new one, then the procedure is reversible:
- you need to find the former owner of the car, which is indicated in the registration certificate, and persuade him how to restore the car in the traffic police database, and re-register it for a new owner;
- the previous car owner must write an application to the traffic police department in which the car was registered in order to register it again. The application must indicate the car number, make, year of manufacture, as well as the body and engine number, attach all documents for the vehicle;
- then the traffic police officer inspects the scrapped car. It must be delivered to the territory of the department on a tow truck. After a successful inspection, new documents are issued to the new owner;
- you should also legally competently draw up a contract for the sale of a car with the former owner in order to legally own it.
How to check if a car has been scrapped?
Information about which vehicles were disposed of is not available in open sources. In order to check the car, you should contact the traffic police, where the car is registration number check with the base.
Is it profitable to sell a car for scrap metal?
In some cases, scrapping a car is more profitable than participating in a recycling program. First of all, this option is more convenient for those whose car does not fit the conditions of the state program, as well as for car owners who do not plan to buy a new car. After all, if you plan to buy a used or new, but foreign car, at the metal collection point you can get real money. This money can be spent both on a new car and on something else. However, it should be borne in mind that you can’t get a lot of money for a car: a standard passenger car as scrap metal will bring about 10 thousand rubles.
- In order to avoid problems later, before handing over the car for recycling to the metal collection point, it must be deregistered at the traffic police department.
- From the car, you can remove the seats, steering wheel, dashboard and other parts without numbers and sell them at a disassembly.
- It is important to choose a reliable collection point so that the licensed parts of the car are not used when repairing other cars. Otherwise, the former owner may have problems. Do not trust small offices and private buyers.
- Instead of scrapping your car, you can sell it to someone who is interested in recycling old cars.
An old car, even if it is out of order or has simply exhausted its resource, can still benefit its owner. Such a car can be written off for car recycling and get a discount on the purchase of a new car or, if for some reason this is not possible, turn the car in for scrap and return at least part of the money. In addition, machines on the move that have maintained an acceptable appearance and have not been involved in an accident can be accepted as payment when buying a new car from a dealer under the trade-in program.
Car recycling program: procedure, conditions, terms Video
Surely there are few people who did not want to have their own car. However, unfortunately, not everyone can afford to buy it. Everyone knows that the cost of the "iron horse" is quite high, and financial capabilities do not allow such a purchase. But in this matter, the authorities went to meet their citizens and allocated some funds. It is due to this that a huge mass of our compatriots can buy a car under the recycling program in 2019.
Purchasing a new car
Let's say right away that the program developed by the federal government involves the use of finance from the state treasury. The main goal of the program is to lend a helping hand to the Russians. Therefore, only persons with Russian citizenship can become participants. This is the most important condition.
The funds that the authorities will allocate for this state program should ensure the development of the Russian automobile industry. That is, when wondering how to buy a car under the recycling program in 2019, you need to understand that you can buy only those vehicles that are manufactured by domestic factories.
A car to be scrapped must have been owned by a person for at least 1 year if they qualify for a discount certificate. If it was decided to draw up an agreement for the exchange of a decommissioned car for a new one by trade-in, then the shortest period of ownership before being scrapped is six months.
Both in the first and in the second case, the reward is 50-350 thousand rubles. 
There are also other regulations that determine how to hand over an old car for recycling and buy a new one. You can ask the dealer about this, who will deal with the paperwork for writing off the car.
Program participants
We are talking about vehicles heading to a landfill, and those that replace them. That is, everyone is interested in what is under consideration and which ones are allowed to be bought in return.
What cars can be scrapped
In fact, it is possible to participate in the program in 2019 by disposing of any vehicle. It absolutely does not matter what mileage it has, when it was released, what brand of car. The law only states that a car to be scrapped must be fully equipped. Absolutely all the units that the factory assembly provides for must be in it. 
If you want to use a certificate for the disposal of a car with an engine that differs from the factory one, then it is likely that some difficulties will arise. You will have to provide the unit that was in the vehicle when registering.
Brands available for purchase
Having become interested in this state program, many drivers are in a hurry to find out which brands of cars can be purchased under the recycling program. After completing all the documents, a discount certificate will be issued, then you need to find out what the prospects are.
But even with a certificate, you can’t go to a car shop and choose any car. Manufacturers themselves decide which car models participate in the program.
Only domestic cars are available for purchase, the state program does not apply to foreign ones. Only the manufacturers themselves decide which cars are sold for recycling, and what the cost of new cars will be, taking into account the discount. The state does not influence the price formation.
Cars under the recycling program -2017, the list and prices for which will be indicated below. To buy them, you need to ask car dealers what you need to do.
Having made documents for the disposal of the old car, you are issued a certificate for the purchase of a brand new car. Discount - 50,000 rubles. But do not think that all these funds will be included in the payment. Some manufacturers provide a smaller discount amount.
All discounts are active until the end of 2019.
If your plans include buying a truck, then their purchase under the recycling scheme can count on the highest discount - up to 350,000 rubles. Car dealers will tell you in more detail about everything. For example, KamAZ in the trade-in program provides only a number of benefits.
It must be said that the list of cars under the 2019 car recycling program, indicated above, is not final. Factories can adjust this list, as well as discounts.
Available discount
So, you ask the dealer what car can be bought under the 2017 scrappage program.
There are several models, and maybe just one. For example, the Citroena discount is only available on the C4. And fot Ford presents for a discount a lot of models that are assembled in the Russian Federation.
Note that having prepared documents for the disposal of an old car, you are issued a certificate for 50 thousand rubles for the purchase of a brand new car. But not in all cases, this amount will be credited to the payment when purchasing the car. Some manufacturers provide a smaller discount. If you want to fully use the discount amount, it is recommended to buy cars for which the established discount is 50,000 rubles.
Purchase of used cars under the program
Many do not know whether it is possible to hand over the car for recycling and buy a used car. The relevance of this issue is clear - the cost of a brand new iron horse is high, and the discounts for their purchase are not high. For this reason, many do not mind buying a second-hand car using financial assistance from the state.
But we are in a hurry to upset you - used cars do not take part in the state program. The authorities help to buy only brand new cars. But you can find a way out and get a loan from a bank. If you have a certificate for a discount, then most likely you will be given a loan.
Also for those who do not know whether it is possible to buy a used car 
According to the recycling program, we recommend the following. Today, many car dealerships sell cars under the trade-in scheme, accepting old cars from people and presenting new ones for a surcharge. What are the benefits of such an exchange?
A person who purchases a used car can have no doubt that there will be any problems with the documents for the vehicle. Dealers also guarantee that the technical condition of the machine is in order.
Such methods exist today. Since it will not work to buy under the recycling program, you need to carefully consider all kinds of ways to buy a brand new iron horse.
From January 16, 2020, a new car recycling program comes into full force. Today the project was given fresh start, from which new high indicators are expected compared to the previous year. This year, the list of cars for recycling has been supplemented with new brands and car manufacturers. To date, the operator is negotiating the allocation of money by the operator for the acceptance of 40 thousand old cars, plus the quota that was not implemented last year will be added to this.
Car recycling is a widespread practice around the world. In developed countries, there are entire networks of collection points where the owners of old and emergency cars have the opportunity to sell your car for scrap.
Funds received from scrap fees are used to stimulate the collection and disposal of waste, to pay the population financial resources in the form of a certificate for handed over auto-junk and to provide information support for the program. Of course, like any new activity that started work, this project faced a number of problems. One of them was the issue of a unified form of certificate of disposal of transport property. There are several samples of such a certificate, depending on the region. At the moment, the issue of introducing a universal reference has been initiated - a single one for all regions of the country.
