The auto industry today has developed at an alarming rate and 'the next new innovation is always on everyone's mind. It is no surprise therefore, that individuals may want to get rid of their current vehicles in favour of newer models. The dilemma that arises, however, is how to accomplish this without harming the environment. This is where car recycling becomes applicable.Here aresome of the ways to recycle your car.
Remodelling
Remodelling your car means restoring it to its initial glorious shape or adding some more desireable features. Restoring or remodelling a car may cost a little but it has its rewards in the long run. These rewards include delaying the pollution caused by dumping the vehicle and increasing the resale value of the vehicle.
Donating To A Worthy Cause
Donating the vehicle to a worthy cause means less hassle on the environment. It also means that you are doing a good deed by being altruistic. The vehicle continues to be in use while you are free to purchase a new vehicle with a clear conscience, knowing that you did not add to the carbon footprint being made by human pollution.
Junk Yard Sale
Junk yard sales allow car owners to pass on the parts of a car that are still valuable. This not only helps to reduce pollution but also earns the seller some income. This means that instead of simply discarding the car and 'writing off' the investment made when the vehicle was purchased, some of this investment can be salvaged.
The remainder of the vehicle after the sale may be sold as scrap metal. This allows it to serve as raw material for another manufacturing process instead of becoming pollution in land fills.
Be Creative
The creativity of the human mind knows no bounds. This could be exercised with old cars as they house a lot of potential for use as aesthetic enhancers.Sometimes parts of a car such as tyres or tyre rims may be used as decoration. Sometimes old car frames can be used to add aesthetic appeal to a garden or other area of relaxation.
Many gardeners find creative ways to use tyres and rims as flower pots or decorative elements in a garden. Additionally tyres may be used to make swings among other items.
Additionally an old car may be remodeled in such a way that it becomes a safe, cool hangout spot for kids teens or even adults.
There are many other options for recycling a vehicle as many environmentalists will point out.It just takes a little creativity, patience and determination.
