How to dispose old trailer with title.

My travel trailer is beyond repair and I need to get rid of it. I don't want to try and sell it on Craig,s List or ebay or what ever.I'd like to tow it somewhere for recycle or whatever.The trailer does have a state title. I want to stop paying the personal property tax on it.

  • List it on Craig's List "Free with title, you haul". Guarantee it will be gone in a day.
  • If it can't be towed any longer you will need to find a scrap dealer to turn it over to. There are a couple over in Chesapeake near the Gilmerton bridge. There are quite a few folks that haul stuff into them, a phone call should get you a name or two of people with lowboys that would take it. If you can tow it just take it there with the title.

    Try to get some form of documentation from them to turn into the DMV showing that you no longer have it or Va. Bch will try to tax you into perpetuity.
  • Please dont give it to any charity if it has no monetary value.
    They'll just end up paying to dispose of it.

    I would advertise it for free on craigslist. Someone may take it for hunting or just for the running gear.
  • Scrap metal place, junkyard, or RV repair place are the only places I can think of besides the aforementioned Craigslist.
  • The title is the easy part. Finding someone to actually take the trailer is the hard part. Maybe on Craigslist for free? Then sign the title over to them.
