A derelict vehicle is one that is no longer operational due to accident or age.

Derelict vehicles are unsightly and compromise the natural beauty of our communities and our province. Most derelict vehicles contain hazardous materials that are harmful to our environment.

The program is an information service, operated through a provincial hotline, that provides options for individuals looking for ways of recycling derelict vehicles.

The Derelict Vehicle Program eliminates environmental problems and presents economic opportunities. Used parts equal cost and energy savings.

When your car is taken to an automobile recycler, everything possible is either reused or recycled following strict environmental standards.

If you own or know of a derelict vehicle, please call RRFB Nova Scotia's Recycling Helpline toll free at 1-877-313-RRFB(7732) for advice on the best options for recycling. Your derelict vehicle could be worth money!
