Recycling a Car: 5 Fascinating Facts You Should Know
It’s a fact – vehicles are the most recycled consumer product worldwide. Incredibly, most of a car can be recycled. But what happens to scrap cars, and how are cars recycled?
Here at ASM Auto Recycling, we should know. We are an ATF (Authorised Treatment Facility), a centre where cars are scrapped legally. Find out more about the car scrap process with our step-by-step guide.
Does the scrap value of steel affect your car’s scrap value?
Have you had your vehicle valued for scrappage recently? Was the price you were given higher or lower than what you were expecting?
There may have been quite a bit of difference in the price you would have received only a few months ago. That is because steel, aluminium and copper dominate the scrap metal market, and this is the stuff that cars are made of more than other metals. The scrap prices for end-of-life vehicles are likely to feel the effects of fluctuations in scrap metal prices more keenly than other products.
Which car parts have the highest value?
A lot of people still aren’t aware of the potential fortune they can make from recycling their car’s parts. For too long recycling facilities and scrap yards have been labelled as places for people looking for a ‘quick buck’ or to use it as a dumping ground for their old vehicles. But they’re so much more.
At ASM we have always championed the value in used car parts and how motorists can save on significant maintenance costs by simply buying second hand. It’s also beneficial for the environment because you will be making the most of your salvage parts, from end-of-life to damage-repairable vehicles. You’ll be contributing to a more circular economy.
