What happens to scrapped automobiles?
The proper disposal and recycling of automotive fluids, parts, and scrap metals has become an important part of the automotive industry. First, all fluids and hazardous materials are removed from the vehicle and either recycled or disposed of properly. Then, parts are tested to see if they work, and if they do, are dismantled and inventoried for resale. Finally, any unusable parts and scrap metal are recycled. Recycled steel is used to make appliances, automobiles, bicycles, rebar, steel siding, and toys and more.
