Welcome to CAR – The Conneticut Auto Recyclers Association

Posted on September 24, 2009 by CTARadmin

The Connecticut Auto Recyclers Association is an organization formed by a dedicated group of licensed auto recyclers dedicated to the steady improvement of the auto recycling industry in the State of Connecticut.

Why Recycle?

Posted on October 8, 2008 by CTARadmin
  • Recycling vehicles provides enough steel to produce almost 13 million new vehicles.
  • Saves an estimated 85 million barrels of oil a year, that would have been used in the manufacturing of new or replacement parts.
  • Automotive recyclers spent nearly $50 million on environmental compliance in 1997.
  • The majority of automotive recycling businesses used a computerized inventory system.
  • Automotive recyclers provide wholesale and retail customers quality parts that sell for up to 50% less than the comparable new parts.
  • Automotive recycling businesses employ some 103,108 people at more than 8,267 businesses around the country.
  • An estimated 86% of automotive recycling companies is full-service and employs 10 or fewer people.
  • Total annual payroll is estimated to be $3.3 Billion.
  • The majority of automotive recyclers can often locate parts faster than new part dealers because the facilities are connected by telephone, satellite and/or computerized communications systems to recyclers across the globe.
  • Automotive recycling decreases insurance rates by purchasing inoperative vehicles from insurance companies, thus allowing for recovery of financial losses. These vehicles came primarily from individual owners and salvage auctions.
  • Automotive recycling keeps highways and roads clear of abandoned and disabled vehicles by providing a place to deposit these vehicles.
