What Happens After We Pick Up
Your Junk Car?

Once your vehicle arrives at our Hillsborough recycling facility, it’s documented, inspected, and prepared for processing. Our team verifies the vehicle and begins the recycling process using established procedures that help ensure every vehicle is handled safely and responsibly.

Before any recycling begins, automotive fluids are carefully removed, including gasoline, motor oil, transmission fluid, coolant, brake fluid, and air conditioning refrigerant. The battery is also removed.

These materials are managed using appropriate handling procedures to help protect our environment and comply with applicable local, NJ State, and federal regulations.

Before the vehicle is processed, our team evaluates it to maximize the recovery of recyclable materials. Certain components and materials may be removed for specialized recycling before the remaining vehicle moves into the next stage of processing.

This careful approach helps recover valuable resources while minimizing waste.

Once the vehicle has been properly prepared, it is processed for metal recovery.

Steel, iron, aluminum, copper, and other recyclable metals are separated so they can be sent to mills and manufacturers, where they are transformed into new products and put back into use.

The recovered metals from your vehicle become raw materials used to manufacture countless new products.

Recycling these materials helps conserve natural resources, reduce energy consumption, and support a more sustainable manufacturing process.
