Recycling Your Car
So you may ask “What is car recycling?” Here is the definition: A car is recycled by depolluting, dismantling, and destroying it. The process occurs at an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) where much of the car is recovered. Governing the process is the EU’s waste directive, which is aimed at reducing the amount of waste arising from cars that have reached their end of life.
Although your vehicle has finished its journey on the road and is considered end-of-life it can still have a high value due to parts & metal that can be recycled. Scrap metal is one of the biggest components for making money out of a scrap car followed by the parts of course (engine, catalytic converter, gearbox etc.)
The Scrap Car Recycling Process
The first stage is depollution. This is where all hazardous materials and parts are removed from the vehicle. This is key for keeping the environment safe from hazardous damage.
The next is the dismantling stage. This is where the scrap yard will take parts of the car which are valuable. These can be later sold for parts. The main parts that hold the most value are the:
- Engine
- Gearbox
- Catalytic Converter (These contain precious metals)
- Wheels
The final stage of the process is the crushing of the vehicle. The metal shell will then be stacked ready to be sent off.
