Vehicle Recycling

It is important to ensure that motor vehicles are recycled properly. In addition to hundreds of pounds of metal, rubber, and glass, every car and truck contains toxic materials like plastic, fuel, refrigerants, lubricants, battery acid, and hydraulic fluids that must be captured and carefully handled.

Many vehicles also have serviceable parts which can be used to repair other vehicles, thus reducing the need to make new parts. There are many of companies that responsibly recycle used vehicles and parts while protecting the environment. A good place to find one of these companies is www.earth911.com.
