Vehicle Recycling

Vehicle recycling means taking apart old vehicles so parts and materials can be reused.

How It Works

Old cars can contain steel, aluminum, glass, rubber, plastic, and useful parts. Fluids such as oil and coolant must be handled carefully.

Why It Matters

Recycling saves materials and can reduce waste. Some parts are reused, while metals are melted and made into new products.
