Old Vehicle Scrapping
Program
This is a voluntary program developed to encourage vehicle
owners to retire older, higher-emitting vehicles in order to reduce
the amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), nitrogen oxides (NOx),
carbon monoxide (CO), and particulate matter (PM) in the air we
breathe. Under the program, older, polluting cars are removed from
roadways, that would otherwise be driven in the South Coast Air
Quality Management District (AQMD) for 3 or more years if they were
not scrapped.
