Don't Pollute, Commute Safe | Retire Your Ride
By Christina Jung
Do you have an old vehicle thats just collecting dust in your garage or driveway? Unsure of what to do with it? I found a great solution that's not only simple and easy, but it'll also leave you with some extra cash in your wallet without spending a dime!
Retire Your Ride, is an environmental friendly initiative from the Government of Canada to help decrease the number of high-polluting vehicles. From January 2009 to March 2010, the program has recycled approximate 10,904 vehicles in British Columbia alone and aims to retire at least 50,000 by the end of March 31, 2011. Although each province has different requirements and rewards, the goal of the program is the same
"to improve air quality by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and lowering exhaust pollutants" -BC Scrap-it
The program offers many great incentives, while guaranteeing you that your old car will be recycled properly to avoid the release of any environmentally harmful toxins. Need to get another car when you retire your old vehicle? No worries. The Retire Your Ride program offers you $300 cash or rebate on the purchase of a 2004 or newer vehicle. Public transit passes seem a little expensive? Retire your ride got you covered with a FREE transit pass.
Participate in protecting our environment. If you have an old vehicle that needs to be retired, check out the Retire Your Ride site, for BC Scrap-it for specific British Columbia requirements and incentives! Recycle your old vehicle responsibly.
