The junk yard in Lehigh Acres FL is a good place to dispose of that junk car which is rusting away in the yard and will never run again. You can put some cash in your pocket or donate the proceeds to charity. Either way you come out the winner.
The car doesn’t have to be running and, in fact, it doesn’t even need a motor. The real benefit is the environment is protected and you have some extra cash. Most people don’t realize that the seals on a junk car weaken and the fluids run out onto the ground and then seep into the ground water. Junk cars are an eye sore in the neighborhood and tend to weaken property values if there are several of them.
In most states you do not need a title, but in some states you need minimal proof of ownership which could be an insurance bill from a few years back. The junk yard will come to you and pick the vehicle up by any means necessary. The yard pays cash on the spot.
You might ask what does this process do for the environment? The answer is it gets an eyesore out of the neighborhood and keeps unwanted fluids from running into the ground or contaminating the surface where someone may someday try to grow something useful. It is an unsightly mess which lowers property values and makes people believe the neighborhood is less than desirable.
About 95 percent of the car is recycled which means you are saving energy and increasing mining efficiency. Any aluminum parts are recycled and may be back on the grocery shelf in pop cans within 90 days. Metal parts such as motors can be sold to people who will rework them into running condition. Transmissions fall into the same category.
The sheet metal is crushed into a pile of scrap 3 feet high and sent to the shredder where it is shredded into 3 inch wide strips and rolled into a ball for sending to the smelter facility. About 82 percent of the scrapped metal is recycled. Think about what you are doing for the environment and the energy you are saving by not mining ore and refining it into usable metal.
