Responsible Upcycling of Scrap Transportation

DON’T LET YOUR JUNK CAR BECOME A POLLUTION PROBLEM
That old car sitting in your yard isn’t just an eyesore—it could be harming your health, your property, and your community.
 

WHY IT MATTERS
As vehicles break down, they can:

• Leak harmful fluids like motor oil, fuel, and battery acid into the soil—polluting the water you drink and play in
• Release toxic gases like benzene and carbon monoxide into the air
• Attract unwanted pests

THE GOOD NEWS: RECYCLING IS EASY (AND OFTEN FREE)
You have simple, responsible options—and many include free towing.
