Environmentally Responsible Car Recycling
At Top Cash for Cars, we’re committed to environmentally responsible recycling of all vehicles. When you sell your junk car to us, you can rest assured that it will be properly processed according to Ontario regulations, with safe disposal of all hazardous materials and maximum recycling of reusable components.
Our Recycling Process
1. Proper Fluid Removal
All hazardous fluids are safely removed before recycling:
- Engine oil
- Transmission fluid
- Coolant/antifreeze
- Brake fluid
- Power steering fluid
- Gasoline/diesel
All fluids are collected and sent to licensed facilities for proper recycling or disposal.
2. Battery Removal & Recycling
Car batteries contain lead and acid, both hazardous materials. We remove all batteries and send them to certified battery recycling facilities where the lead, acid, and plastic components are properly recycled.
3. Tire Removal
Tires are removed and sent to licensed tire recycling facilities. Proper tire disposal is important as they can cause environmental problems if not handled correctly.
4. Salvageable Parts Removal
Before crushing, we remove any valuable or reusable parts:
- Engines
- Transmissions
- Alternators and starters
- Doors, hoods, and body panels
- Wheels and rims
- Electronics and wiring
- Catalytic converters
These parts are cleaned, tested, and sold when possible, giving them a second life and reducing waste.
5. Scrap Metal Recycling
After removing all fluids, batteries, tires, and reusable parts, the remaining metal frame is crushed and sent to metal recycling facilities where it’s melted down and used to make new products.
Benefits of Proper Car Recycling
Environmental Protection
Proper recycling prevents hazardous materials from contaminating soil and water. It also reduces the need for new raw materials, conserving natural resources.
Energy Conservation
Recycling metal uses significantly less energy than mining and processing new metal. This reduces greenhouse gas emissions and helps combat climate change.
Resource Conservation
Many parts from your old vehicle can be reused, reducing the need for new manufacturing and conserving resources.
Compliance with Ontario Regulations
We follow all Ontario Environmental Protection Act regulations for vehicle recycling, ensuring we’re operating legally and responsibly.
