What happens to my Mercedes when it’s scrapped?
As registered by the ATF (Authorised Treatment Facilities) once your car arrives on one of our located sites, by law we have to strip the car of any products or chemicals, along with any parts of the vehicle we see as suitable for recycling.
Our first step we take to scrapping your car is removing the wheels, both are separated with the tyres being recycled or upcycled to become anything from astroturf to underlay. Whilst the wheels themselves can be recycled, sold or melted into ingots to be reused to a multitude of new things.
The next step we take is to remove other parts of your car to either be sold, recycled or upcycled; this includes the lights and the wingmirrors. The most important step we take to scrapping your car is the de-pollution process which includes removing all the fluids from within your car. This can include fuel, coolant, engine oil and steering fluid and are all removed and stored into vats to be recycled or sold on.
Once de-pollution is complete, your car will be taken to the forklift to flip the car over and remove the back axle due to it being a different and higher grade of steel and the engine itself which contains a variety of metals such as copper and aluminium. The car will then get crushed to reduce the space it takes up and has the remaining metal crushed together.
