What is Auto Recycling?

Auto recycling is the complicated process of dismantling an unwanted and unused vehicle in order to retrieve any recyclable or reusable parts for future use. This process can be extremely difficult, as there are many hazardous chemicals that need to be removed and disposed of properly to ensure minimal harm to the environment. Typically, we are able to recycle approximately 80% of your unwanted junk vehicle

What are the benefits to Auto Recycling?

There are many benefits to recycling your unused auto:

  • Recycling your unwanted vehicle saves energy. Unwanted vehicles typically yield a significant amount of steel, iron and other precious metals that tend to be valuable and take much less energy to recycle then to create new metals.
  • Recycling your unwanted vehicle keeps your junk car out of the landfill. With our auto recycling program you can be rest assured that no part of your vehicle will reach the landfill unless it absolutely has no potential to be recycled or reused.
  • Recycling your unwanted vehicle protects the environment from hazardous chemicals. If you dispose of your unused vehicle in a way that is not environmentally friendly, you could be harming the earth as your unwanted vehicle has a myriad of hazardous waste that requires proper disposal. Most cars and trucks have lead content, and one gram of lead not disposed of properly has the potential to pollute a 20 acre lake causing significant damage to the environment.
