I've recycled 600,000 pounds of cars (200 rebuilt since 1973), and those were the ones that were made roadworthy again. Probably another 300k pounds that were given to me when they were just worn out and we put them on a lift and completely diasaasembled them in 2 days. Stored the parts in the attic for future use. The local govt asked me how much I recycled and I think they thought I was crazy when I answered in tons. Also used waste oil for heat, probably close to a thousand gallons a season. They are probably still selling some of those parts 12 years after I sold the shop.
