Do you have an old car that’s reached the end of its useful life? Whether you’re getting a new one or have decided to live without a car altogether; make sure you dispose of it properly.
A car contains quite a selection of materials. Some of them are hazardous waste, many of them can be recycled. None of them should be dumped in a landfill and left to leak out into the environment.
By leaving your car with a proper green car disposal service, you ensure that it’s handled in a responsible manner. Hazardous waste will be dealt with properly. Recyclable materials will be stripped from the car and put to good use.
Where can I dispose of my car in a green way?
If you’re in Europe, chances are vehicle manufacturers are the ones ultimately responsible for handling old vehicles in an environmentally sound manner.
If you’re in the USA or Canada, Green Vehicle Disposal is a good option. They have a North America-wide network of car recyclers that will dispose of your car greenly.
If you’re in a generous mood, you could go for a double whammy and have the proceeds of your green car disposal go to the charity of your choice – see CharityCar.us for details.
