Scottsdale, AZ—Are you a do-it-yourself (DIY)er when it comes to car maintenance? Ever wonder what recycled car tires become, or the process for recycling motor oil?
This month, Earth911.com is going in depth about the different components of your car, including:
- Car fluids
- Batteries
- Tires
- Auto bodies
- Miscellaneous parts and accessories
Topics covered include why these products should be recycled, how they’re recycled (both before and after they leave your hands) and what they become when reprocessed.
“Summer is definitely a popular time for road trips, and this means more car maintenance,” said Earth911.com Executive Editor Raquel Fagan. “The automotive industry is important for us to address because there are so many DIYers out there looking to dispose of used car parts and fluids.”
Check back at the beginning of each month for a new product to be profiled on Earth911.com. On tap for August: household hazardous products.
