1. Transport to Our Dismantling Yard
Once we collect your car, it’s taken to our licensed wrecking yard in the Taupo district. The car is tagged and scheduled for eco-friendly dismantling.
2. Removal of Hazardous Materials
We begin by safely removing harmful components such as:
-
Battery
-
Coolant and oil
-
Fuel and brake fluids
-
Airbags
-
Mercury switches
These are disposed of through certified recycling streams.
3. Salvaging of Usable Car Parts
Next, our team identifies and removes components that can be reused. These include:
-
Engines and gearboxes
-
Alternators and starter motors
-
Suspension parts
-
Doors, mirrors, and tyres
These parts are cleaned, tested, and sold to other drivers or garages, helping keep other cars on the road affordably.
4. Shredding & Metal Separation
Once the car has been stripped of usable parts and fluids, the shell is crushed and shredded. Advanced machinery separates:
-
Ferrous metals like steel
-
Non-ferrous metals like aluminium and copper
-
Plastics, foam, and residuals
Metals are melted down and reused to create everything from new vehicles to building materials.
5. Tyre and Glass Recycling
Old tyres are reused in road construction or as rubber mulch. Windscreens and windows are recycled into new glass products or construction insulation.
6. Minimal Landfill Waste
Thanks to modern recycling technology, more than 90% of every vehicle is kept out of landfills. Our mission is to ensure your old car gets repurposed, not wasted.
