The do’s and don’ts of getting rid of your old car [Infographic]

Saying goodbye to something familiar, something that has been with you for a long time is not easy. Be it something small, or big—like your car. Since everything is meant to be broken after years of use, it is inevitable that your wheels be replaced by something newer, bigger, and something that is reliable than the old one who has the tendency to break down any minute.

If you’re ready to bid goodbye to your ride for years, selling it to a junkyard is one of the best ways to see it go. Aside from giving it dignity for one last time, it can also provide you a lot of benefits—monetary and logistically wise. Instead of letting it get eaten by rust over time, occupying a large space on your garage, why not just junk it? That way, you’ll earn a decent amount of money, which can finance your new vehicle, while opening up a bigger space on your garage or backyard. Moreover, that simple gesture can even give a lot of benefits to the environment, decreasing steel production, coal burning, and greenhouse gasses emission.
