So the police officer will have a local tow truck dispatched to the scene to remove your now crumpled car. The tow truck will deliver the car to an impound yard and behind the scenes the city, the tower, and the impound yard will be drafting up their invoices to bill you for their "help." In the Dallas/Fort Worth area these charges will run close to a thousand dollars!

Traditionally, salvage companies offer you $ 200 or less for your car and even tow it from your house to the yard.

Only call the salvage yard as a last resort. Salvage yards are only willing to give you the minimum for your junk car. For obvious reasons.

This process would take almost a day or sometimes more than that and most people would not want to get into it. Today, you just have to find a suitable salvage yard/scrap yard online and fill a form describing your car. The yard will call you back and visit you for negotiations. If the negotiations are successful, they will tow away your car to be scrapped after which they will provide you with the destruction certificate. The scrap yards also help you with the legal proceedings of the entire process. This is as easy as it can get for scrapping the car. You really don't have to do anything.
