When you’re considering automotive recycling, consider what you can recycle and where. If you no longer use your vehicle, you shouldn’t keep paying for insurance or repairs. However, some cities have fines for unusable cars and may charge you a fee. If you’re willing to pay a fine, there are special programs that can help you dispose of your car properly. Cash for Clunkers, or the Car Allowance Rebate System, has helped Americans recycle nearly 34 million cars.
The 1960s were a time when the world did not know much about ecology. There were over eight million junk cars lining the sides of roads. However, the Highway Beautification Act of 1965 helped eradicate roadside junkyards. In 1970, the first Earth Day brought environmental awareness to the masses. After this event, the structure of the modern automotive recycling industry was put into place. If you’re in search of an automotive recycling facility near you, keep reading.
Automotive recycling is one of the greenest ways to dispose of old cars. Nearly ninety percent of a vehicle’s components can be recycled. More than one-third of car batteries are recycled, which can be used in many different ways. Some auto parts are used in new cars, while others can be sold to a scrap metal yard for scrap. There are even many places that will purchase parts from you. In addition to scrapping, auto recycling is one of the most environmentally-friendly ways to dispose of cars.
