Great article Tony,

I personally work for an auto wrecker and the benefits of auto recycling are indeed countless and countless studies prove it. One of the most telling stats is “automobiles are the most recycled consumer product in the country with the equivalent of 13.5 million cars worth of steel being recycled each year” – (Steel Recycling Institute).

The other impact is economical, we still import quite a bit of steel from China (world’s largest producer, we are 5th) and it further widens the trade deficit. Recycling steel is a highly effective way to help counter this imbalance and reduce our reliance on foreign suppliers.

Hello Trey, I am a student at the University of Phoenix. I am taking an oral communication class and have to present a problem, cause, and solution. My problem is “Not Enough People Recycle”
I am currently conducting research on the subject “Going Green.” I was just curious if you have any insight into what happens to the air-condition systems that are inside the cars to be recycled. What precautions are taken to insure that the Freon and other harmful pollutants don’t escape into the environment?
I have recycled cars several times before and the only things the center would not take are batteries, gas tanks, and tires. I have never seen the entire process the cars go through. Seems to me, the centers crush the whole car, air-conditioning systems included, and run them through the shredder. I am really interested if these companies do anything to prevent the escape of Freon into the air. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to get anyone in trouble. Just as I was doing my research, that questions come to me.
If you or anyone reading has any information pertaining to the process, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you for reading: Michael Shawn Douglas
