Selling a Junk Car in Union County
Union County sits just north of our Perth Amboy yard, across the Rahway River, and we buy junk, wrecked and unwanted vehicles in every town on this page, from Elizabeth, the county’s largest city, to Westfield, Summit, Cranford and Plainfield. The county is crossed by the New Jersey Turnpike, the Garden State Parkway, I-78, US-1/9 and Route 22, and its dense neighborhoods make street parking scarce for a car that no longer runs.
The remnants of Hurricane Ida in September 2021 hit Union County especially hard. Cranford reported more than 100 disabled and abandoned cars, Roselle Park 80, Roselle 40 and Westfield 30 to 40, and the July 2025 flash flood added more. Each town page describes the local pickup area, the nearest MVC office, and the town’s rules on inoperable and unregistered vehicles, which in Hillside treat a car as abandoned after just 48 hours mechanically inoperative.
