Additionally, they may be less fuel-efficient and produce more emissions than newer cars, which can contribute to environmental issues. Scrapping your car, you can help reduce the number of unsafe and environmentally harmful vehicles on the road.
If your scrap car is sitting and no longer running this can also be a big inconvenience. Taking up precious space on your land that could be otherwise utilized much better. If the car has been sitting for a long time, this often leads to grass and mold growing around it. Cleaning and maintaining surrounding greenery and land becomes a pain. In cases of emergencies you may face blocked paths that can lead to a serious safety hazard.
