Did you know that even if your vehicle is seemingly worthless to you it can actually still be quite valuable simply because of the metal that it is built out of? In fact, you can make a good amount of cash when you sell your junk car for scrap metal. Many people are wondering how the process works once your junk car is sold for scrap. North Texas Cash for Cars is here to explain the process that is involved once a car has been sold for scrap metal.
What is Depollution on a Car?
As you well know, there are several liquids and chemicals found in your car that help it to run. These materials have to be dealt with first and foremost when you sell your car for scrap metal. The fluids need to be drained and disposed of safely. Among the fluids in your vehicle, the battery will be one of the first things to go as well. There are many procedures that must be followed to dispose of all these hazardous materials as safe as possible. Some of the hazardous materials that will be removed include:
– Coolants
– Refrigerant
– Antifreeze
– Oil
– Lubricants
– Brake fluid
– Wash fluids
– Transmission fluid
What Parts of a Car Can Be Recycled?
Even if you couldn’t get your vehicle to start and drive, there are probably parts found in the vehicle that can still be salvaged. The one part that is keeping your vehicle from running is discarded, but other parts that may be workable still can be removed and used to sell for repairs on other old cars. Tires will be removed as well so that they can be shredded and used on playgrounds and to build roads. Any glass found on the vehicle will be removed and then recycled to create things like fiberglass insulation, concrete, asphalt and more. There are several bulky parts that need to be removed so that they vehicle can then be crushed. Bulky parts that need to be removed include:
– Bumpers
– Heater core
– Air conditioner
– Evaporator
– Wiring harnesses
Crushing, Shredding & Fragmentation
Now it’s time to move on to the part that many people think about when they think about a vehicle in a scrapyard. The vehicle will now be crushed, shredded or fragmentized to sell for scrap metal. This is done because once it is crushed, the vehicle can be easily stored or transported to where it needs to be to sell.
