It is reported that Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association is coming out in support of efforts to develop a provincial vehicle scrapping program. The program has been mentioned by a number of government officials.

To ensure all vehicles are retired in an environmentally sound manner, a provincial licensing or accreditation system for auto recyclers must also be developed.

Mr Steve Fletcher executive director of Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association said that "A provincial vehicle scrappage program, coupled with mandatory provincial licensing or accreditation of auto recyclers, would provide a significant boost to both Ontario's economy and its environment."

He added that "Increasing responsible recycling of older vehicles stimulates vehicle sales, ensures economic spin offs and improves our environmental footprint."
