Getting Cash for your Junk

In America, everyday junk cars get towed, crushed and melted down in the heat only to be made again at a later date in the year. The re-incarnation can be in form of steel for building material, cars, utensils, mechanical parts, and a variety of other everyday essentials. But have you ever thought of cash for cars?
One of the leading players of cash for car industry, CarMax has recently released a data that says that automobiles are one of the most recycled consumer products in USA. Now isn’t this surprising to know?
Every year 14 million tonnes of steel from cars is reproduced. This study has also been supported by Steel Recycling Institute of the USA. Like any other recycling process, this is also not only environment friendly but also assists in keeping the price of raw materials for automobiles lower than what it would be otherwise.
If you are one of those who are wondering on “how to sell my used car”, read on. The basics of automobile recycling are pretty simple. You can start by calling any participating auto wrecker or a used car sale dealer and give them details about your car, SUV or truck.
Usually these people give an instant quote of what is the current market rate of your junk car. They would then dispatch an appropriate towing vehicle to your home or office to pick up your junk car for the scrap yard. They take out re-usable parts from the engine, interior, and exterior compartment for resale and the put the rest of the car into a big automobile shredder. Normally shredding process takes only a minute and the metal of car is separated for recycling using a many big magnets and the rest of the apparatus are thrown away.
