1. Pickup and Transport
After you agree to our quote, our driver picks up the vehicle at your convenience. We tow it to our licensed wrecking yard in the Tauranga area where the dismantling process begins.
2. Fluid and Hazard Removal
Vehicles contain many toxic substances like oil, fuel, brake fluid, and coolant. We carefully extract all fluids using eco-safe methods. These materials are disposed of through certified recycling channels to avoid contamination of land or waterways.
3. Salvaging Reusable Parts
We inspect and remove any parts that can be reused such as:
-
Engines
-
Gearboxes
-
Tyres and wheels
-
Radiators
-
Batteries
These are cleaned, tested, and sold for reuse — extending their lifespan and reducing waste.
4. Metal Shredding and Recycling
After the car has been stripped of all salvageable parts, the remaining shell is shredded. The metals are sorted — steel, aluminium, copper — and sold to local and international manufacturers who melt them down for reuse in new products.
5. Glass and Tyre Recycling
Windscreens and windows are crushed and recycled into glass bottles or insulation material. Tyres are repurposed into playground surfaces, road bases, and even artificial turf.
6. Minimal Landfill Impact
Through this process, we recycle over 90% of each vehicle. That means less pressure on Tauranga’s landfills and a smaller carbon footprint for all of us.
Why It Matters
By choosing responsible car removal with us, you’re not only getting paid — you’re helping reduce waste and protect our beautiful Bay of Plenty environment.
