Opening a wrecking yard in the Township of Brock? Make sure to apply for an Automobile Wrecking Yard Licence, which you must renew annually. You can view our Wrecking Yard By-Law to learn more about how we license, regulate and govern automobile wrecking yards in our community.
Applying for a New Licence
Please send a completed Application for an Automobile Wrecking Yard to the Clerk's Department. Make sure to include a site plan of the property and a non-refundable deposit of $50.
Requirements
The Municipal By-Law Enforcement Officer will inspect the location to ensure that it complies with the Wrecking Yard By-Law. If the yard meets all requirements, we will issue the licence after receiving the required fee.
The yard must:
- be on land where zoning allows a wrecking yard
- be 150 m from a neighbouring residence
- only allow access when an attendant is on duty
- not permit any open burning
You must dispose of fluids from derelict vehicles in an environmentally-safe manner as per the Environmental Protection Act (if you are not safely storing them for resale).
Renewing your Licence
There is an annual $285 fee to renew your Wrecking Yard Licence. This increases to a $340 fee if renewed after February 1.
