Vehicles manufactured in 1995 and earlier are typically less fuel-efficient and lack the latest technology for reducing air-polluting emissions. Across Canada, tailpipe emissions alone make cars, trucks and buses the major sources of smog pollution, especially in densely populated urban areas.

Today, vehicles are designed to higher environmental standards and increasingly stricter vehicle emission regulations. These changes have lead to the development and improvement of technologies like the catalytic converter, designed to reduce emissions that contribute to pollution and smog.

This is where Retire Your Ride comes in. We offer vehicle owners an easy, free and rewarding option to get their vehicles off the road and have them recycled in a responsible way. We will keep cars out of landfills and hazardous materials from being released into our air, ground and water.
