Ken and David remove all reusable parts before the stripped cars are crushed flat, loaded on to a flatbed truck and taken to the Steel Mill.
Then the Steel Mill loads the crushed cars by the crane into a shredder. Then, the Steel Mill separates the shredded material into three parts: iron and steel (called ferrous metals); other metals; and materials that are not metallic, such as bits of shredded plastic, glass, rubber, or fabric. Steel and other metals are melted down so they can be used again. Leftover non-metallic parts that can't be recycled go into landfill. |
