Why shouldn’t I just trade in my vehicle? Surprisingly, you can make more money recycling your car than trading it in for a new car. Scrap yards can strip your car for scrap metal but also remove and sell used parts. When Upstate takes your recycled car a mechanic strips your junk car for parts that can be sold for use in other vehicles. This helps ensure that the materials won’t go to waste while you make the extra cash.
Does the entire car get re-used? About 85 percent of the parts on your car can be recycled and reused. The remaining portion of the car, usually just the frame is then turned into scrap metal and the used as recycled steel.
