How do scrap yards’ work?

Step one –      Firstly, the company has to obtain cars, they will probably take care of the paperwork for those looking to get rid of their cars or will help guide them with what they need. The Scrapyard needs cars and they will help out with the process if they are a good company. The car is bought by the company according to its weight. The weight of a car depends on the rust and oxidization of the car, as rust can make it lighter.

Step two –       Once the car is obtained, it is important to remember that most cars have parts that are still fixable and useable. These parts are removed, the useable and fixable parts of the scrap car such as the steering wheels, tires, engine if it is workable, etc. are salvaged and sold to companies that repair and sell them to other consumers. Although many of these companies are further just buying the material and not the product, they may need the material the product is made of.

Step Three –   Next is the parts that cannot be salvaged, the harmful and toxic parts that cannot be tossed or thrown away, if they are they may cause environmental or mass hazards, these are parts that are flammable or just toxic to breathe or fumes. There are also plastic parts that are not very recyclable or even if they are many companies that are non-trustworthy throw them away because recycling makes no profit. However, good companies have deals with plastic companies that pass the material on, same goes for the Toxic materials, those are given to companies equipped to handle them.

Step Four –     The metals are all salvages, the iron is packed with iron and copper with copper, making everything easier to sell to companies that may need them. Metal is reusable and can be shaped into anything, regardless of the type of metal it is. All metal melts and can be moulded into something else. Most companies buy Meta from scrap yards such as We Scrap Any Car that is salvaged from scrap cars at a good pride and may use it for different things, many of these places may be car manufacturers too.
