The Environment

Customers can be confident that they are pulling parts from an environmentally friendly yard when they visit Cash-n-Carry.

Vehicle processing and end-of-life:

• All fluids are drained from the vehicle and sent out to be be recycled.
• Batteries are sent out to have poisonous sulfuric acid recovered, plastic and lead recycled.
• Lead wheel weights are collected when breaking down wheels and recycled to reduce soil contamination risks.

Mercury Switches:

Cash-n-Carry is proudly involved with ELVS (End of Life Vehicle Solutions) Mercury Pellet collection program. This helps keep poisonous Mercury from entering our water supply, our wildlife, and ultimately making the world a safer and cleaner place for us and generations to come.

A vehicle ending its time on our yard is stripped for scrap aluminum, crushed and recycled. SO why is it so important to go to an environmentally friendly yard? The bottom line:

Recycling Cars Saves Energy

In today's world with soaring energy prices it is important for everyone to do their part, Cash-n-Carry does this by recycling every part of every vehicle we receive..

Recycling one ton of steel saves the energy equivalent of 3.6 barrels (151.2 gallons) of oil.

Cash-n-Carry recycles 1000 tons of steel a month saving the energy equivalent of 3600 barrels (151,200 gallons) of oil.

Recycling one 20 lb aluminum wheel saves enough energy to power a home for 5 days.

Vehicle liquid waste recovery means less poisonous chemicals are released into our waterways, water supply, and into the environment.

Scrap recycling reduces greenhouse gas emissions by requiring significantly less energy to manufacture products from recyclables than from virgin ore.
