Get Paid Money For Your Junk CaR

Many of us have a junk car that we would like to get rid of but negative effects to the environment stop us from acting. Did you know that if improperly disposed of junk cars could badly effect the environment? Junk cars, whether new damaged vehicles or old and tired vehicles have the following negative environmental impact:

• Petroleum waste
• Fluids (transmission, power steering and brake, including the filters)
• Battery acid
• Mercury (used in electronic switches that control most of the vehicles electronic systems)
• Lead (batteries, wheel weights and battery cables)
• CFCs
• Air bags containing sodium azide
• Asbestos (clutch and brakes)
• PCB (carpet, foam rubber and tires)
• Heavy metal pollution (iron, copper, cadmium, zinc and aluminum)

In the past three years it is estimated that close to 40 million cars have been ‘junked’. If not handled properly junking cars can have a massive negative effect to our environment that will affect not only us but also future generations. This is why it is so important to dispose of junk vehicles in an eco-friendly manner.

If you are getting paid money for junk cars, make sure that the buyer of these vehicles is disposing of the vehicles in an environmentally conscious manner.

Cash And Car strives to dispose of scrap vehicles in the safest way possible minimizing negative environmental impact. The following is the process that is used by us to scrap vehicles:

• Batteries removed
• Windows removed
• Airbags deployed
• Tires removed and shredded
• Mercury switches removed
• All fluids are extracted
• Air and oil filters removed
• Catalytic converter removed
• Metal shell sent for shredding

All of the removed components and the extracted fluids are either sent for recycling or disposed of as hazardous waste.

You may wonder how some of these components can be recycled. Batteries can be refurbished and used once again for many years. Window glass can be recycled and used as glass tabletop furniture or as glass figurines. Oils can be recycled and used as synthetic engine oils or used for clean burning home oil furnaces. Plastics can be recycled for water bottles or any other plastic products.

By calling Cash And Car you can put extra money in your pocket for that junk car, and rest peacefully knowing that the environment is a little safer because of the manner in which Cash And Car disposes of the vehicle and its hazardous materials and parts.
