why the fuck crush it? give it to people and make them take the parts out - easier to sort the raw materials and some parts could be reused, also it would be much cheaper and took less space :/ I will never understand why they don't do this :/ human stupidity is beyond me
Let me get this straight: they crush the cars with all the copper from the wiring still inside and just send them to the steel mill, ore they pull the copper out first?
@GM572 I read a Readers Digest article a few years back when I was in high school - it explained the workings of a scrapyard - apparently the scrapyard the article was written about would get the cars, strip them (including recovering the copper wire, working bulbs, plastic, rubber tyres etc) and bale what was left over (a car without anything inside) then send the bale to the steel mill. The rubber, copper wire etc. was recycled.
Well I really hope that would be the case, I mean.... everything should be recycled separately, not just tossed into the the melting pot with the steel. Now, from what I see in the video, everything is still in place when they compact those cars :| . Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm seeing things.
@GM572 These cars are compacted to make shipping them to a shredder easier. The shredder sorts it all out based on density once it is in small pieces. The change from under the seats even goes in a little pile of it's own ;)
Thanks for posting, but pretty lame, I have to say. ( my first thought was: 'this is really stupid') So when do you deliver on your promise to show how cars are baled/cubed? The forklift section is great for showing kids how adults don't usually use that equipment. It's a decent effort, but pretty poorly conceived, unorganized, and less than straight forward. So many possibilities to improve it....Thanks though.....
What is that terrible dinging sound about?!
