Environmental impact
Did you know that every year in Ontario, there is an average of 400,000 to 500,000 vehicles that are retired each year. Unfortunately, not all of them are recycled responsibly. People have become more educated on the effects of the automobile on the environment, but most people are not aware that those vehicles are affecting the environment long after their last mile.
Here is a comparison between what will result from throwing your vehicle and what should result if you recycle.
Car Parts |
Thrown away |
Recycled |
Tires |
 Endless land area is taken up by tire yards and rubber takes 1000s of years to breakdown. What's worse is they are often burned releasing carbon monoxide into the atmosphere. |
 The rubber used in tires can be shredded down into small shavings. These are then used to create new products, like the soles of shoes. Which you could wear to walk through a park you helped preserve. |

Metal frame & Panels |
 Cars the are improperly disposed of generally end up here, taking up endless useful space that could be instead used as parks, green space or residential land. |
 Yes, even the kitchen sink can me made from recycled metals. Just think about how many everyday products could be made from recycled metals from vehicles. |

Plastics |
 Similar to metal car components plastics also end up in scrap yards. Most plastics are easily recycled but take thousands of years to decompose. That's a long time to wait to get your green space back. |
 If you're looking to make even more change you could use this pen, which just happens to be made from recycled car plastics to write your friends letters encouraging them to recycle their old cars too. |
