Canada vehicle retirement and recycling programmes
Canada combines programme-led recycling routes with province-specific incentives, so users need to distinguish between cash-for-scrap offers and environmentally compliant recycling services.
Canada does not have one single permanent public scrappage grant that works everywhere in the same way. Instead, users may find a mix of national vehicle recycling routes, programme-led retirement services, and province-specific incentive offers.
For launch, ScrapScheme distinguishes clearly between incentive-led programmes, such as current SCRAP-IT offers in British Columbia, and environmentally compliant recycling programmes, such as Retire Your Ride.

Country hub FAQ
Are all Canadian scrappage pages grant pages?
No. Some are cash incentive offers. Others are structured recycling or retirement services that connect you to authorised recyclers.
Why does the amount vary?
Because some programmes offer a fixed incentive, while others use a bid or value-based process tied to the vehicle and location.
Does 'national' always mean government-funded?
No. Some national programmes are industry-led or managed by sector bodies rather than direct public grant schemes.
