CarTakeBack are passionate about recycling! To look after the environment, our wreckers use the latest methods they can to safely remove all harmful materials from your car, then dispose of them in the safest way. Ensuring that they reuse and recycle as much of your scrap car as possible. Parts may be reused to get the most out of them, and if a car can be repaired and reused for longer they may do so.
When a car arrives at the scrap car recycling centre there’s a lot that goes into depolluting and recycling it. Fluids such as fuel, brake fluid, even windscreen wash are safely removed from the vehicle, ensuring that no excess chemicals leak into the environment. Airbags are securely detonated. Any parts that are in a good condition are salvaged for reuse, to get the maximum life out of them.
It’s now ready to be crushed, this is usually done to make vehicles more efficient to transport for further recycling. The cubed or crushed vehicles are safely transported to a shredder plant. These shredder facilities process the vehicles into smaller pieces and separate the metal, glass, plastics and fabrics, which can then be recycled for use in various ways. With minimal waste going to landfill.
This process is just for a regular petrol or diesel vehicle, but as you might guess, there’s even more involved in decommissioning an electric vehicle! Not only do the high voltage batteries need to be safely disconnected and removed from an electric or hybrid car, but various other high voltage systems and powerful magnets also need to be carefully made safe, before taking the rest of the car apart.
