When you’re done with your vehicle, be aware of who you’re selling it to… It’s an important decision.

Where you take your vehicle when it reaches the end of the road can make the difference between an environmental disaster and responsible earth stewardship. The truth is, not everybody handles end-of-life and accidented vehicles the way we do.

It’s almost unbelievable, but there are some scrap operations who buy cars just to crush them and sell them for the value of the metal, allowing toxic fluids and heavy metals to escape into the soil and groundwater. They don’t recycle any usable parts and pay no regard to the damage they’re doing to the environment.

ARC associations’ recyclers are the natural choice to properly retire any end-of-life vehicle (ELVs) across the country. Their modern auto recycling processes are a model of environmental responsibility. Each vehicle goes through a methodical process to maximize reclamation and minimize environmental impact. They have invested in the training and equipment to ensure each and every vehicle is handled in an environmentally responsible manner. In fact, all of our recyclers have been audited by an independent third party to ensure that their practices, facilities and training meet the requirements of the Canadian Auto Recyclers’ Environmental Code.
