We bring the remains of the vehicle to our site where it can be held until an insurance adjuster can survey the damage and determine whether the vehicle is to be moved to a body shop for repair or it is a 'write-off' and we are to recycle the vehicle.
Vehicles that are no longer able to safely function or have been left derelict can also be picked up and added to the recycling pile where they will be crushed at a later date and eventually turned into new metal and the tires recycled. |
The Province of Ontario has continued to improve the standards for safe recycling. Courses are required, applications are reviewed and permits granted to those recyclers who practice proper recycling protocols. Vehicles that come into our facility for recycling require the draining of fluids, removal of tires and a final check to determine that provincial guidelines have been maintained. When appliances like fridges and freezers are processed, they must have the gases for cooling properly and safely removed.
The government imposes random spot checks to all licensed facilities to ensure rules are being enforced. If a recycler does not comply, they may be fined or have their license revoked. We applaud the government for instating these rules and enforcing them. This is our planet too and we believe in a cleaner world and not adding to the problem of toxic by-products. |
