My wife and I bought a pretty beat-up 89 peugot super-cheap when we first got here. Now the car is dead, it won't start, it's got a bunch of other things wrong with it, basically worth less than nothing. I know I have to take the plates back and get the registration annulled to cancel the insurance. My question is, what do I do to get rid of the car itself? Is there some kind of disposal service? I assume if I leave it on the street with no plates it will be ticketed, towed, etc, and I want to cancel the insurance ASAP. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Talk to your local community office. Each one normally has a depot responsible for the disposal of all things like foam, paper, oil, cars.... It will probably cost you a fee, but at least if will probably be fair.

You see that big lake...

Surprise - like in other civilised countries, you just take it (or have it taken) to the auto junkyards.

for the junk yards located in bois de bay, does anyone have an experience buying car parts in there?

im going to geneva maybe next month and i'm trying to find some parts for my CRV honda.

Ask a friend to tow your old car and drive it at the demolition in Satigny. You need to pay 150 chf i think.

At the same location posted above, you can visit the junk yard and dismantle what you can. At a cost of course.
