Lost titles can be replaced at any NY DMV office or online by submitting form MV-902 and paying $20, with processing taking 2-4 weeks. Some cars may be sold without a title using alternative documents like an Affidavit of Ownership (MV-51B) or Registration, subject to DMV approval.
How are junk cars recycled and disposed of in Rochester?
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 New York environmental regulations. Through our local partners, we have recycled over 113 tons of metal, safely drained more than 1,362 gallons of fluids, and salvaged 1,122 usable parts from Rochester vehicles this year. This process puts quick cash in your pocket while reducing waste and protecting the environment.
