- Auto Recyclers provide enough steel to produce almost 13 million new vehicles. That means fewer raw materials will need to be dug up from the earth.
- Auto Recyclers process about 10 million vehicles per year recovering:
- 11 million tons of steel
- 800,000 tons of non ferrous metals (Alum, Copper, Zinc & lead)
- From 2006 – 2010 2,965,043 mercury switches have been collected by Auto Recyclers. Mercury affects the brain and nervous system. Small children and pregnant women are very vulnerable to mercury in the environment.
