Car Recycling
Video Overview & Insights
Car Recycling – Did you know that cars can be recycled? Join Curiosity Quest Goes Green host, Joel Greene as he witnesses the massive power of a car crusher! We begin at a facility that collects old cars. The first step is to pick them up with a huge claw and dump them onto a conveyor belt where they get fed into a giant blender that reduces a vehicle down to chunks of scrap. These scrap pieces are then separated out to various piles of metals, plastics, glass, etc. Next, Greene follows the metal to a steel mill next door, as he watches the most visual process of smelting metal and turning it into liquid lava. In this DVD, we learn what all the scrap metal from old cars can become.
What if you do not have a title, registration, or plates and just want to turn the car into scrap?

@barkopediusmaximus5552Hello
@Patty-Ann-Dunn"My GOODNESS!" And Golly GEE.
@garybeck-t3vI have contributed 154 junk cars to the shredder so far this year. Hope to finish the year with around 200 junk cars contributed. Every year for the past 7 years
@garylee6037notice they omitted showing all the plastic parts being burned out to separate the copper from electric motors and wires, emissions kills cars 10 years before their time and the cars get melted down releasing toxic gases that counter act any good having emissions on cars did , reusing is better than recycling ,
@swingcadillacGreat show. Very interesting.
@NateHowardphotographyI wish there was more on the shredder and downstream the hammermill and eddy current belts and airtables are very interesting
@codysmith2854We have a mobile crusher and mini shredder but on crushed cars we use hay wrap to contain the debris if you have ever unwrapped a round bale of hayvyou knownthat stuff sticks to anything if lost so many shirt buttons earbuds sleeve buttons very effective i imagine much cheaper than construction netting like in the video
@codysmith2854Until couple weeks ago I owned a 1996 Plymouth Neon Sport Sedan 4D. Bought the car when it was 4 years old and owned it for 23 years so when I got rid of the car it was 27 years old. The car was having engine problems and was not worth fixing due to cost and it's age so I just let it go. While I owned the car it was a good little car I can't complain too much. At the time I got rid of it the car still had 95% of it's factory installed parts on it.
@OutlawNixSome of the video was informative. A lot of the time there was no explanation of what you were actually looking at. As for the guy doing the presenting, he was acting like a child
@paulmead2601Anothher presentor should be nice. He thinks he's funny.
@joopbeenseThe fact that the furnace is about the same temperature as the surface of the sun is absolutely mind-blowing.
@BlackFlagHeathenAbout anything metal will go to the shredder or steel mill ! They take it all !
@timothyroatenberry1274A moment of a silence to all the rare, old school, or fancy cars that ended up getting shredded.
@ea6374I find that fun fact fun fact woman very irritating
@aaronwright8541Always wondered! Thanks.

@simonpetrus1981Intro too long has to leave and move on
@bigmikesexcellentadventure6702Oh I feel queezy, was talking to my mum about what happened to crushed cars & found this video, when he was going on about the melting process & "tapping the heat" my stomach went as literally at 2am this morning I was watching Mr Ballens latest video in which 5 of 6 men were killed in 2017, after a blockage dislodged releasing the liquefied coal slag.
@KJS2010Incredible process!
@bizob211I hate this guy

@Tyr_kllr-OfficialSo recycled cars become steel rebar that is used in buildings. Neat.
@hexadecimal523624:38 The baked beans were with us all along
@ChuckNorrizHIMJoel Greene is a doofus
@dualmp8So is that all that a car is good for when being recycled is making rebar?
@chrisbroesky2932Show the parts when they find meth inthe car
@kennethsee6262Fun fact funfactfunfact
Organized crime put bodies in the trunks of the carsto get rid of the bodies through the scrap process which saves acres of cemetery land a year!!!
Evil ppl they destroy jdm cars
@ezanaterrefe749018:15
Wtf is this guy doing here.
Take tires off, windows out, any that can be reused. Use electromagnet pullout steel. Go through multiple shredders each getting smaller and smaller able separate easier. Takes up less space.
@donaldburkhard7932Very informative and educational conrent
@dragonlore8484Very interesting documentary about car recycling.
@alexischristodoulou4355Didn't show any grinding or separating process, terrible video
