What Happens After You Scrap Your Car? Inside the Recycling Journey

When you decide to scrap your old, damaged, or end-of-life vehicle (ELV) with CrushCar, you’re doing more than just clearing space, you're supporting a cleaner, greener future. As a government-authorized vehicle recycler licensed by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), CrushCar ensures the entire process is eco-friendly, transparent, and rewarding. Here’s a look inside what really happens to your car after it’s scrapped.


Step 1: Easy Scheduling and Pickup

The journey begins when you book a free inspection and doorstep pickup through CrushCar. Whether it’s a 15-year-old petrol car, a diesel vehicle past its legal age, or one that’s damaged or abandoned, our logistics team handles everything from towing to transport safely and efficiently. Your car is taken to our state-of-the-art recycling facility, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience for you.

Step 2: Legal Documentation and Deregistration


Vehicle scrapping in India follows strict legal protocols. Once your vehicle reaches our facility, CrushCar manages all RTO-related formalities to officially deregister the vehicle. You receive a Certificate of Vehicle Scrapping a government-recognized document confirming that your car has been legally dismantled. This certificate also allows you to claim benefits like road tax refunds or discounts on your next vehicle purchase.


Step 3: Eco-Friendly Dismantling


At the facility, the dismantling process begins with environmental safety as our top priority. First, all hazardous materials such as fuel, batteries, engine oil, coolants, and brake fluids are carefully drained and disposed of following eco-friendly standards. Next, usable parts like tires, mirrors, seats, and glass are removed and refurbished or resold, reducing overall waste. This ensures maximum material recovery while protecting the environment from toxic pollutants.


Step 4: Crushing and Metal Recovery


Once stripped of reusable parts, your vehicle is ready for crushing and shredding. Advanced machinery compacts the car, breaking it into smaller fragments. These pieces are then sorted using magnets and separators to distinguish between ferrous metals (iron and steel) and non-ferrous metals (aluminum, copper, etc.). The recovered metals are sent to industries where they are recycled into raw materials for new vehicles, buildings, or manufacturing equipment. This closed-loop recycling system allows CrushCar to recycle up to 95% of a car’s materials, minimizing landfill waste and conserving natural resources.


Step 5: Instant Payment and Customer Value


CrushCar ensures every customer receives fair and instant payment for their scrapped vehicle. The scrap value is calculated based on the car’s make, model, age, weight, and current metal market rates. Once the process is complete, you get paid immediately—making the experience both eco-conscious and financially beneficial.
