Before entering, you typically sign in and may pay an entrance fee or for a container to carry parts.

+
โˆ’

โˆ’

Using recycled car parts offers environmental benefits by conserving natural resources, reducing energy consumption, and minimizing landfill waste. The process involves reusing components from salvaged vehicles, extending product life and promoting a circular economy. Recycling lowers the demand for new raw materials, curbing resource-intensive extraction and manufacturing processes, which, in turn, decreases greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production of new parts.
