Wrecking: It's a Process

Have you ever wondered what happens when you send a car to the auto wrecking yard? It varies somewhat from yard to yard. But in general, the workers will start by removing any still-usable parts from your car. They may, for example, remove the transmission and sell it to someone who needs a replacement transmission for their vehicle. Once all the usable parts are removed, the wrecking yard can strip out the recyclable materials, like steel and glass. These can be sent to a recycling center. There's a bit more to the process, but that's a good overview. If you keep reading on this blog, you'll grow deeper in understanding.
