Step 1: Free Pickup from Your Location
Once you accept our offer, we send a professional driver to your property. Whether it’s at home, work, or on a rural road, we tow your vehicle for free — no stress, no surprise fees.
Step 2: Safety First – Fluid and Hazard Disposal
We take the vehicle to our secure recycling yard, where all hazardous fluids are drained:
-
Oil
-
Petrol or diesel
-
Brake fluid
-
Coolant
-
Transmission fluid
-
AC refrigerant
These are handled safely and according to NZ environmental regulations.
Step 3: Salvaging Usable Parts
Next, we dismantle the vehicle and extract reusable components:
-
Batteries
-
Tyres and rims
-
Engine and gearbox parts
-
Lights, panels, mirrors
-
Alternators and starters
Many of these parts are reconditioned and sold, reducing the demand for new parts and manufacturing emissions.
Step 4: Metal Crushing and Recycling
The remaining car shell is crushed and sent to a shredder. Metals such as steel, copper, and aluminium are separated and sent for industrial recycling, where they are reused in construction or even new vehicles.
Step 5: Tyres and Glass Disposal
Tyres are sent to NZ facilities that repurpose them into playground surfaces, roads, and insulation. Glass is recycled into new windows or used in home insulation.
Step 6: The Final Stats – Over 90% Recycled
By the time the process is complete, more than 90% of each car is recycled. That means fewer vehicles in landfill, less environmental harm, and a cleaner Taranaki for future generations.
