My 2005 ford escape is on its deathbed. Engine leaks oil and transmission 2/4 band has broken. I can still drive it but just barely. I called Big Island Scrap metal in the Shipmans business park and asked if I could dispose of it there and sign over the title. They said sure...but it would cost me $250.00!! Something like 5 cents a pound plus $10.00 per tire. Is this right? I thought I could just sign it over for nothing. The tires on the vehicle are almost new as is the battery. No wonder there are so many abandoned vehicles along the side of the rode! I should just drive it to the far end of my property in HPP, take the tires and battery off ....and use it as a planter!
