Scrap That Old Car!

For years there has been a smattering of car scrapping programs in Canada which offered incentives for vehicle owners to get rid of old heavily polluting cars and switch to more environmentally friendly modes of transportation, including a newer car. Now the Canadian federal government is putting money into setting up a national car scrapping program. The program will be operated by the Clean Air Foundation, the folks who run Car Heaven, and it is expected to be fully operational in January 2009. In the meantime, the government is also giving funding to existing local car scrapping programs so they can expand their programs and incentives. These local organizations may then become part of the national network of partners who will help deliver the national program in 2009.

If you have a pre-1996 car or truck, it's worth looking into.
