The Vehicle Recycling Process
Vehicle is purchased after being taken off the road usually due to accident damage. Parts are removed from vehicles and put back into circulation.
All fluids are drained from vehicle in a special facility designed to contain all toxic materials from contaminating the soil. Once all of the usable parts have been sold and the vehicle is 'parted-out' it is flattened in a large crushing unit.
Flattened vehicles are transported off-site for further processing.
Vehicle is placed on safety stands in the yard and entered into inventory.
Flattened vehicles are shredded and separated into; metal, glass, plastic and fabric for further recycling. At this point they are mostly re-introduced back into the product cycle where they can start the process all over again.
