The deposit for scrap is NOK 3000 for cars, vans, campers, caravans, snowmobiles and minibuses/coaches less than 6 meters long, and NOK 500 for scooters and motorcycles. The purpose of the scrappage deposit is to prevent and reduce the environmental problems that vehicles generate when they are scrapped.
Payment of deposit for scrapping
The scrapping deposit is usually paid within 4-5 business days after the vehicle is registered as scrap by the facility to which the car was delivered.
To receive a scrap bond, the vehicle must be registered as a vehicle in the Statens vegvesen motor vehicle register after January 1, 1977.
In 2018, the scope of the scrapping deposit system was expanded to include:
- Caravans
- Scooters, light and heavy motorcycles
- Trucks, tankers and tow trucks
Therefore, car collection facilities receive a subsidy to cover operating costs for accepting these vehicles.
It is important to note that car collection facilities are not obliged to accept vehicles covered by the new scrap deposit scheme as not all of them have adequate space and equipment. Therefore, it is recommended to contact a car collection facility in advance before delivering, for example, a truck or a caravan to a scrap yard.
When you deliver your car to an approved scrap yard, you will receive a numbered scrapping notice as documentation that your car has been scrapped.

The insurance/registration number and bank account number will not appear on the printed scrapping notice for security reasons.
The last registration number of the vehicle must be confirmed by, for example, the vehicle card, confirmation of the return of registration plates or insurance documents.
The scrapping notice is sent electronically from the car collection facility to Skatteetaten (Norwegian Tax Office), which pays the scrap deposit to the account of the designated beneficiary. The beneficiary does not have to be the registered owner of the car.
Once a scrapping notice has been registered with a car collection facility, this cannot be changed and the car will be scrapped.

- Denmark: "Skrotningsattest"
- Great Britain: "Certificate of destruction"
- Germany: "Verwertungsnachweis"
- France: "Certificat de destruction d'un véhicule".
Car scrapped in Poland
Scrapping a car from abroad should be done at a proven and legally operating disassembly station. At the very beginning, it is necessary to prepare appropriate documents, such as a registration certificate, vehicle card and ID card. Then, the dismantling station may issue a document confirming that the car has been scrapped. This document can then be delivered to the appropriate office in Norway to receive a refund of the deposit.
