Auto Recycling ~ Vehicles Recycled

   A used part from a salvage yard is generally about 50% cheaper than buying a new part from the local automotive dealership. However, the actual price of the part depends on how hard that part is to find on the open market. A rarer part will obviously be more expensive.Some salvage yards dismantle the vehicles as they come in and sell off the reusable parts.
Generally the first step in the dismantling process of auto recycling is to drain the various fluids from the vehicle. This is a very important step because most fluids in a vehicle are toxic to the environment. Some of the drained fluids are able to be recycled and others are not. Gasoline and brake fluids are resold while power steering and windshield washing fluids are not.
