What Happens When I Recycle My Car in BC?

After we drive away with your junk automobile, our dedicated scrap car removal team will get to work taking your vehicle apart.

Step One:

We drain any harmful chemicals or fluids from your vehicle to protect BC’s delicate ecosystem. Also, this helps protect humans, local wildlife, and even domesticated pets from a potential poisoning.

Step Two:

We assess what parts can be reused, recycled, or resold. We do this by slowly and carefully dismantling your vehicle, working our way from the outside in.

Fenders, side panels, sunroofs, wheels, and any glass usually gets addressed first.

From there, we move on to the interior, where we utilize any upholstery, dashboard components, dials, gauges, lights, etc, and of course, assess the door handles and switches for potential repurposing.

Step Three:

Once we’ve determined what can and will be reused, recycled, or resold, we get to work making that happen.

We work with local metal recyclers, salvage yards, and even local car mechanics and vehicle restoration shops to reuse as much as possible.

This also helps to reduce our carbon footprint because the cost to produce new resources is always greater than the cost is to reuse current ones.

Step Four:

After all of these procedures have been complete, whatever is left over will be sent to the local landfill.

Thankfully, because we recycle all the metal, plastics, and even carpet as much as possible when we recycle old cars for cash, only 10-12% of your junk vehicle will ever make it to the local junkyard, dump, or landfill.
