@aaron_witt: When you hear “recycling,” you likely think beer cans or paper. But are cars recyclable? You betcha—we recycle 12 million of them in America every year! — From steel to copper to lead, recycling companies pull around $25B of materials out of cars annually. On average, every new car is around 25% recycled. — Some operations use enormous shredders to tear whole cars to bits and separate the materials automatically. — But smaller operations, like this one, use specialized excavators with a clamp on the front and rotating tongs to separate the materials of each car. #excavator #demolition #heavyequipment
