How Scrap Car Removal Works in Hope
Three steps, the same way we do it across the Lower Mainland.
STEP 1
Call or send us the details
Tell us the year, make and model, what’s wrong with the car, and where in Hope it’s parked. Photos help. We give you an offer over the phone.
STEP 2
We tow it for free
We come to the car, whether it’s in a driveway, on the street, in a parkade or out in a field. Towing is free anywhere in Hope. The driver checks the car against the photos and details you gave us. If it matches, you get the price we agreed on the phone.
STEP 3
Paid on pickup, paperwork handled
You’re paid on pickup, by cash or e-transfer, before the car leaves. We handle the ICBC transfer paperwork on the spot, so there’s no second trip for you.
As a Fraser Valley call, pickup usually lands within 1-2 days rather than same-day, so give us a call to confirm timing and we’ll work out the details with you before we book it in.
Hope’s Areas, and What Changes a Pickup in Each
The District of Hope has no official neighbourhood list. The names on these cards are the ones it uses in its waste collection zones and its Official Community Plan (Bylaw 1617).
Downtown Hope
The plan pictures Downtown Hope as the central hub of the community. The Traffic Bylaw puts two-hour parking on stretches of downtown streets, Wallace Street among them. Say whether the car is at the curb in a timed zone, in a back lane or on a lot behind a building.
Silver Creek and Floods
The District treats these two as one waste collection zone. Its plan calls Flood Hope Road the main access to the Silver Creek community and places industrial lands here beside the Canadian National Railway. For a car at a shop or in a yard, we need the business name, who holds the keys and when the gate is open.
Kawkawa Lake, East Kawkawa Lake, Thacker Mountain and Othello
The District lists these four together as the homes east and north of the Coquihalla River. If the car is down a long driveway or beside a cabin or outbuilding, tell us what the driveway is surfaced with and whether a truck can turn around at the end.
Stranded on the highway
The plan describes Hope as a transportation hub at the intersection of Highways 1, 3, 5 and 7, so a dead car here often belongs to someone who was only passing through. It calls Old Hope Princeton Way a major highway commercial area. Tell us exactly where the car is now: on a shoulder, near an exit, or on a business’s lot, and who has the keys. If you have already gone home, phone before you plan another trip and we’ll tell you what works for the ID and ownership papers.
First Nations lands
The plan applies only to lands under the District of Hope’s jurisdiction and maps nearby First Nation reserves separately. Reserves have their own governments, so the District bylaws below are not rules for them. If your vehicle is on reserve land, ask that Nation’s office, and tell us when you call.
Hope Rules Worth Knowing Before a Dead Car Sits Too Long
Each card links to its source: a District of Hope bylaw or page, or BC’s Motor Vehicle Act.
A dead or unlicensed car on your own lot
Hope’s Good Neighbour Bylaw No. 1240, 2008 says no owner or occupier of real property may cause, suffer or permit an accumulation of motor vehicle parts, or of all or part of any vehicle which is not registered and licensed under the Motor Vehicle Act, or capable of movement under its own power.
Separately, Zoning Bylaw No. 1324, 2012 says storage of wrecked vehicles is not permitted on a parcel in any Residential Zone.
What happens after a complaint
The District’s Bylaw Enforcement page says a complaint needs your name, address and telephone number, and that your information is kept confidential. In most cases the District encourages voluntary compliance, which may be between one and twenty-one days.
Under the Good Neighbour Bylaw, a compliance order comes with a deadline. If it is missed, the District may enter the property at reasonable times and do the work at the owner’s cost. A bill left unpaid can be recovered in court or added to the property tax roll.
A dead car on the street or the highway shoulder
Hope’s Traffic Bylaw No. 17/95 bans parking on any highway for the principal purpose of storing, wrecking or repairing a vehicle, emergency repairs aside. After an accident, the vehicle has to be off the street no later than 24 hours afterwards. An unattended vehicle parked in contravention may be impounded, and the owner pays for its removal, care and storage.
Across the province, BC’s Motor Vehicle Act also applies. A peace officer may have an unattended vehicle taken away and stored if it is apparently abandoned on or near a highway, or has no proper or valid number plates. The owner pays those costs too.
ICBC’s steps when you sell a vehicle
ICBC’s steps for selling a used vehicle include confirming you’re the registered owner, signing the registration, filling out the Transfer/Tax Form (APV9T), and removing your licence plates.
To cancel your insurance, ICBC says to visit your Autoplan broker with your ID, your licence plates and your owner’s certificate. You can also transfer the insurance to another vehicle. These are ICBC’s general seller and cancellation steps; we handle the transfer paperwork with you at pickup.
This is general information, not legal advice. Bylaws change, and the District of Hope’s and ICBC’s own pages are the authority. Check them, or call the District, before you rely on any of this.

Hope Scrap Car Questions
How much do you get for scrapping a car in Hope?
It depends on the car: its weight as scrap, the year, make and model, its condition and whether its parts are wanted. Phone us with those details for an offer.
How fast is pickup in Hope?
Usually within 1-2 days of your call — Hope is a bit further out than our core Lower Mainland routes, so we’ll confirm a time with you directly.
Is towing free in Hope, or is there a travel fee?
Towing is free. We never add a separate towing or travel charge. Hope is a long run for us, so on some vehicles the distance is reflected in the offer itself, and we tell you that upfront on the phone before you agree to anything.
What do I need to do when scrapping a car in Hope?
Have your government-issued photo ID and proof of ownership ready: the registration, a bill of sale or insurance papers. If something is missing, call first and we’ll tell you what works. Remove your licence plates, and afterwards cancel or transfer your insurance at an Autoplan broker.
What are the rules for an abandoned vehicle in Hope?
On a street or highway, BC’s Motor Vehicle Act lets a peace officer have an apparently abandoned vehicle taken away and stored at the owner’s cost. On private land, complaints go to the District under its Good Neighbour Bylaw. We can only buy a vehicle from its owner, with ID and proof of ownership.
