Auto Recycling—6 Reasons Why YOU Should Participate in this Eco Movement!
Auto recycling is the most eco-friendly thing in automotive since horses.
In all honesty, auto recycling is the most eco-friendly thing you can do with your cars. Even more eco-friendly than driving a smart car—and here’s why…
Auto Recycling—6 Reasons Why YOU Should Participate in this Eco Movement!
There’s a plethora of eco-forward reasons YOU should absolutely, positively participate in auto recycling…
- You Help Prevent New, Waste Parts Being Created
Every year millions upon millions of auto parts are created, while perfectly-good used auto parts build up in our landfills. Be part of the solution to help prevent needless automotive waste. You’ll understand why not-producing needless parts is important by reading below.
- You Keep Caustic Fluids Out of our Landfills
Did you know that every…single…year caustic fluid that leaks out of improperly-disposed-of cars that totals more than 8 TIMES THE EXXON VALDEZ SPILL? True story. Between the antifreeze, coolants, brake fluid, gas, oil, transmission fluid and power-steering fluid, the amount of toxic fluid that can leak out of cars is staggering. Auto recycling prevents this, yearly.
- You Keep Hundreds of Thousands of Tons of Metal from Being Mined and Milled
Not only does auto recycling recycle enough steel to keeps hundreds of thousands of tons of steel from being processed and milled—it also keeps the equivalent amount of byproducts from being wasted. Especially limestone—which is highly fuel intensive for quarrying and transport.
- You Save Greenhouse Gases
Mining and quarrying are both highly energy-intensive processing, which produces massive amounts of industrial greenhouse gases. While melting down existing steel into new steel also requires energy—it is significantly less than new processing.
- The 80% Rule
When we recycle cars we can recycle up to 80% of the steel, metal and parts!
- It’s Recycling—On Steroids
If you toss your can into a blue bin at home—then you should absolutely participate in auto recycling. The reasoning is simple…you’d need to recycle over 100,000 cans to equal that of one car. That’s more cans than you’ll likely recycle in your entire life (unless you’re a major soup eater or beer drinker).
Auto recycling simply makes good sense. It is a major coo for the environment, AND it puts money in your wallet for your efforts.
So—if you have a car that is past its ‘last legs’, then give us a here at Logel’s to find out just how easy the process is to recycle is!
