Benefits of Recycling

Recycling your car brings down the prices of steel. Old steel can be made into new steel using just 26% of the energy it takes to make new metal, that’s a dramatic reduction. On a yearly basis the recycling steel industry can save enough energy to power 18 million houses for a year. Saving energy is an obvious reason why recycling is better but also because the price of steel is reduced it means the cost of making cars and then buying them will eventually get cheaper. Recycling your car means that the metals won’t be decomposed in a landfill, when metals decompose they release toxic chemicals that can end up in our local water systems.

How do I know if my car is junk?

Typically a car is seen as junk if it has been wrecked in an accident, is a rusty non-runner, has major mechanical or body issues or if it is a salvage vehicle. There are many other kinds of damage, if the car is seen as non-repairable then it is scrap, this can happen through flood damage, unusual weather damage, vandalism, theft etc. If the car is old it is also seen as scrap, usually if the vehicle is 15 years or older.
