Here’s a question you can probably guess the answer to – what’s the number-1 recycled product in the world? The answer is, of course, scrap cars. Maybe not in terms of numbers, but by way of the sheer volume of materials that come from the scrap car recycling industry, few other products come close.
And what’s even better is how we’re slowly but surely getting closer to a car recycling and manufacturing industry that’s almost self-sufficient!
The thing is though, most people assume that when it comes to car recycling, it’s all about the shell. Which stands to reason, given than the shell and outer-layers of a car are packed with sheet after sheet of valuable metals. Contrary to popular belief however, there’s so much more within the average car that can be recycled than meets the eye. Which is precisely why it’s so important to work with a recycling company that gets the job done right.
A company like Take My Scrap Car, for example!
When we take a car, we ensure that every single bit of it that can be recycled is processed in the most responsible manner possible. There are very strict UK and EU guidelines in place that govern how the parts of a car should be recycled. Some choose to follow their own rules, but we do the whole thing by the book.
Which means that along with the obvious shell and metal sheeting your car features, we can also ensure that the following parts and pieces are recycled:
- Engine
- Transmission
- Battery (and the lead inside)
- Starter
- Catalytic converter
- Alternator
- Working air conditioning compressor
- Air bag components
- Bumpers
- Mirrors
- Doors
- Tyres with good tread
- Built-in GPS
- High-end sound systems
Just because a car is no longer running – or has even started falling to pieces – this doesn’t mean that there isn’t plenty of life left in it. Quite to the contrary, as in many instances it’s possible for bits and pieces to be reused in their current condition. And of course, the only thing better than recycling is to forego the recycling process altogether and put things back into use.
Here at Take My Scrap Car, we take a uniquely proactive approach to car scrapping and recycling. Our dynamic approach ensures that every car is put back into the system in any and every way possible. What’s more, we work hard to make things as quick, easy and rewarding as possible for our customers.
Wherever you happen to be in the region, we’ll come to you and take your car off your hands. Evenings, weekends – it’s all fair game for the TMSC team! What’s more, we’ll help ensure all the essential paperwork is completed and even pay you the best possible price in accordance with scrap values at the time. Quite simply, you will not find a better deal on the market – guaranteed!
