Donate Your Car to a Worthy Cause & Support America Recycles Day

End of life vehicles are the most heavily recycled consumer product and recycled steel fuels global growth.

Only a few days left till America Recycles Day on November 15th and most Americans would be surprised to discover what the most heavily recycled consumer product is: Your Automobile.

What happens to that old truck, minivan, sedan, or SUV when it finally dies? Your old car may end up as a bridge in China, a skyscraper in Turkey or the goalposts at the local high school. Responsible recycling end-of-life vehicles helps the environment, cleans up the streets and produces recycled materials used throughout the world.

Each year, the steel industry recycles more than 14 million tons of steel from end-of-life vehicles. This is equivalent to nearly 13.5 million automobiles. Recycling steel also saves energy and other natural resources. The steel industry annually saves the equivalent energy to power about 18 million households for a year. Recycling one ton of steel conserves 2500 pounds of iron ore, 1400 pounds of coal and 120 pounds of limestone (source: Steel Recycling Institute).
