Hours of Operation: Mon - Fri: 8:00am - 5:00pm Sat: 9:00am - 12:00pm Sun: Closed How We Recycle Upon arrival, each vehicle is entered into our inventory management system. All fluids are drained and disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner. All mercury switches are safely removed and are sent to a certified waste handling company. Every part of the vehicle under goes a detailed inspection. All salvageable parts are coded with the VIN, stock number, year, make and model. Parts are then uploaded into our on-line inventory system, then warehoused. The remainder of the scrap vehicle is crushed on site and recycled to ensure proper final disposal.   Recycling Facts Automotive recycling is the 16th largest industry in the United States, estimated to be a $25 billion per year industry. There are approximately 7,000 vehicle recycling operations around the country, recycling about 26 automobiles every minute. Recycling cars and trucks provides enough steel to produce almost 13 million new automobiles each year. The metal removed is reused for such things as a new vehicle’s chassis and engine, which serves to “close the loop” in steel recycling. In 2006 enough steel from old cars was recycled to produce 48 million steel utility poles, one third of the utility poles in the U.S. The steel found in just six cars, when recycled, is enough to build a new house using steel framing. Each year, more than 62 percent of the steel produced domestically is recycled. The basic oxygen furnace (BOF) process uses 25 to 35 percent old steel to make new, ductile steel sheets that can be stretched and formed in to articles like new body panels. The electric arc furnace (EAF) process uses more than 80 percent old steel to make new steel for structural steel uses like concrete reinforcement. Automotive recycling is almost as old as the car itself. Today, waste from auto recycling and plastics pose the biggest challenge in automotive recycling efforts. With cars being built containing more plastic than metal, car makers around the world are working diligently to push automotive recycling rates beyond 85 percent.   Click on the Paypal button to submit a payment.
