How Vehicles are Recycled at Cash Scrap Car Sydney?

Recycling is a perfect example of a sustainable industry; positively affecting environmental while using market-driven principles to create “green” jobs. We all know that a significant amount of the metal recycled from scrap vehicles ends up in finished products, like appliances and structural steel.

But what happens to several other parts of the vehicle? How are they recycled and reused in the market? Let’s take a read to learn more!

• STARTER & ALTERNATOR can be removed and resold or sent for remanufacturing.

• WINDSHIELD WASHER fluid is drained for reuse.
• COOLANT is drained for reuse.
• ENGINE & TRANSMISSION can be dismantled, reconditioned, and resold. Engines and transmissions removed from vehicles to be resold are stored under a permanent roof on an impervious surface, or in an outdoor covered, weatherproof container.
• TYRES are removed and sent to approved recycling sites, never having more than a semi-load of tires on site at any time. Tires are reused depending on a visual inspection and tread depth evaluation.

Additionally, worn tires can be used as a fuel for the beneficial recovery of energy.
