The Importance of Vehicle Recycling
Although a vehicle has stopped working, it does not mean that it has no more use in it. If you include all of the screws, nuts and bolts, the average vehicle has somewhere in the region of 30,000 individual parts, and almost all of these can be recycled, reused or recovered in some way. In 2015 the End-of-Life Vehicle Directive set the requirement on the automotive industry that 95% of a vehicle by weight should be recycled. Unfortunately, though, vehicles are designed to last, and the very features that keep a car working for many years are the same features that can make vehicle recycling more complicated.
Richards and Smirk Metals Ltd are the local experts in vehicle recycling Oldham needs and can provide specialist vehicle recycling for parts and fittings that need handling safely. For example, a difficult part of vehicle recycling Oldham drivers might not know about is the danger of recycling car batteries. Known as ‘wet cell batteries’, car batteries are built from highly toxic materials including acid and lead, which can be very dangerous if not properly recycled. Car tyres also need to be handled properly, and Richards and Smirk Metals Ltd can provide all the professional vehicle recycling Oldham needs to dispose of car tyres safely and properly so they can be reused without damaging the environment.
