Have you stopped by a junkyard lately? To be politically correct, junkyards are now called auto recyclers. And to be precisely correct, the business has changed to match the more correct name.
Whatever you would like to call it, the stereotypical "dirty and unorganized" junkyard is now a thriving industry. Since new replacement car parts keep getting more and more expensive, used car parts are in high demand. Salvage yards have become more organized and sophisticated, using computers to make it easier to find and categorize different used car parts.
According to the Automotive Recyclers Association, automotive recycling generates $22 billion in annual revenue handling 7-8 million vehicles. Not only are salvage yards making money, they are also saving you tons. The parts are sold based on a number of factors including size, year, rarity and condition. Luckily the majority of salvage yards have hundreds of used cars and thousands of used car parts for sale making it easy to find the part you're looking for at a reasonable price.
Not only is auto recycling at salvage yards good for your wallet, but also the environment. The salvage yard process recycles 85% of each used car by weight. Used car parts are sold, car fluids are drained, and mercury is drained and contained. The remaining car carcass is shredded for use by the steel, copper, aluminum, glass and plastics industries.
