When your car arrives at the yard it is drained of all hazardous and toxic chemicals such as petrol and brake fluid. We take great care to recycle all fluids ina responsible manner including using any left over petrol to power our company and staff vehicles.
Once fluids have been drained it is assessed by one of our staff members. Our staff member will be looking for what recyclable parts are on the vehicle and will go through an extensive checklist which will be used in the next stage.
The next step involves the removal of all valuable parts from the vehicle. This can include a wide arrange of parts but some of the common bits are suspension corners differentials and engines. This process takes the average worker an hour and a half but the fastest worker can do it in ahlf that time.

The compressed vehicle bodies are melted down and reused in all sorts of useful products such as the regular old tin can.
