Car Crushing for the Auto Industry
Richmond Steel Recycling also offers our mobile car crushing services for the automobile industry.
Automobiles are crushed to densify weight for transport. Vehicles to be crushed must have the following removed prior to crushing:
- Fluids (e.g., fuel, motor oil, coolant, refrigerant, hydraulic fluids)
- Batteries
- Leaded battery cable ends
- Mercury convenience light switches
- Other mercury-containing devices as required by law
Thanks to our mobile car-crushing equipment, we are able to serve auto dismantling yards, municipalities, and even individuals with large amounts of scrap cars, no matter the location.
We pride ourselves in meeting Provincial and Federal environmental standards in our recycling practices.
How Much Can I Receive for My Recycled Car?
Cars are paid for by weight at the current price per ton at the time, meaning that payment can vary. It is best to contact us for a more accurate quote.
Please note that Richmond Steel Recycling pays for cars by cheque and we do not sell parts.
How to Make an Appointment
Appointments do not need to be made to deliver your car. Please arrive during our operating hours with the aforementioned proper documentation to ensure that your car will be recycled. While we do not pick up cars that are to be recycled, we can recommend a local scrap car hauler with whom we have an established relationship.
