What paperwork do I need to sell my junk car in Pasadena?

You'll also need form REG 262 for the transfer. While state law requires a title for sales, some buyers may assist during the title replacement process if you can prove ownership through registration and other documents.
How are junk cars recycled and disposed of in Pasadena?
When you junk cars for cash, you are selling an old, damaged, or non-running vehicle to a licensed buyer, such as an auto salvage yard, junk car buyer, or car recycling facility. The buyer pays for the value of the parts and scrap metal, dismantles it, and recycles or reuses the components responsibly. We work with licensed salvage and car disposal facilities that follow California environmental regulations. Through our local partners, we have recycled over 75 tons of metal, safely drained more than 904 gallons of fluids, and salvaged 745 usable parts from Pasadena vehicles this year. This process puts quick cash in your pocket while reducing waste and protecting the environment.
