Car Recycling

Vehicle Recycling – Did you know that vehicles can be recycled? Here is an old video clip hosted by Joel Greene as he witnesses a car crusher’s massive power! We begin at a facility that obtains old cars.

The first step is to pick them up with an enormous claw and deposit them onto a conveyor belt where they get stuffed into a giant blender that reduces a vehicle down to chunks of scrap. These fragment pieces are then separated out into various piles of metals, plastics, glass, etc.

Next, Greene follows the metal to a steel mill next door, as he watches the most visual process of smelting metal and turning it into liquid lava.

In this youtube video, you can see what all the scrap metal from old vehicles can become.
