Learn more about recycling cars
How to recycle cars
Car recycling is one of the oldest forms of recycling. Ever since cars were invented, companies have existed to salvage the metal and spare parts in dead cars. Car parts should not be put in your recycling bin at home. Car parts must be taken to or picked up by a recycler. Use the directory on this page to find a recycler near you.
Why recycle?
vVehicles that are no longer in operation can be very valuable for their second-hand parts. Automotive repair businesses and car enthusiasts regularly visit car recycling yards to obtain functioning parts for vehicle repairs.
Selling your old car or car parts can earn you money whilst keeping valuable materials like steel in use for longer. Reusing and recycling cars for their parts prevents these materials from going to waste in landfill. It also reduces our need to extract new resources from the earth, which, in turn, reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
Auto Parts Recyclers Association of Australia Inc. (APRAA) is a national, non-profit industry association that has sought to improve the recycling of cars, especially from an environmental standpoint.
What happens to them?
When a car arrives at a recycling facility, all engine fluids are safely removed (and recycled wherever possible). Next, all salvageable car parts are removed for reuse or recycling. Finally, the steel and other metals are removed so they can be recycled into products like new car parts.
Most of the metals in cars can be recovered and recycled. However, many of the other materials used in modern vehicles, including plastics, computers, and other synthetics, are a little trickier to separate and recycle. Car manufacturers are developing ways to reduce waste from vehicles when they have reached their end of life, and vehicle recyclers are also working on improving their recycling capabilities.
How to recycle car batteries
Used car batteries and other lead-acid batteries are hazardous waste and should be disposed of responsibly through recycling programs. Lead-acid batteries should never be put in your recycling or garbage bin at home.
How to recycle car tyres
Tyres from cars and bikes should never be put in your household recycling bin. They can be recycled, but only when dropped off at designated collection points or through an accredited Tyre Stewardship Australia mechanic, retailer or dealership when you're having your old tyres replaced with new ones.
How to recycle motor oil
Used motor oil, or 'sump oil', should not be put in your recycling or garbage bins at home because it is a hazardous waste item. Used oil should be taken to a designated collection point so it can be cleaned and reused.
Frequently asked questions
How much of a car can be recycled?
Cars are predominantly made from steel, which is infinitely recyclable. This means it can be recycled over and over again without any reduction in quality of the material. The other metals used in cars can also be recovered and recycled. However, modern cars are increasingly made from mixed materials, including plastics, computers, and other synthetic materials, which are less easy to separate and recycle. The good news is that many car manufacturers are developing ways to reduce waste from vehicles when they reach the end of life, and vehicle recyclers are also improving their recycling capabilities.

What type of steel are cars made from?
Cars are made predominantly of steel, which can be easily recycled over and over again without any reduction in quality. The types of steel used in cars may include stainless steel, high-strength steel, high-carbon, low-carbon, and galvanised steel. Most new cars are made from Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS).
Are plastic car bumpers recyclable?
Yes; plastic car bumpers can be recycled by some specialist plastics recyclers. Once collected, these can be shredded and used to make new plastic products. Plastic car bumpers may not be accepted by general car recyclers, so it is advisable to call in advance.
Can car parts be recycled?
Yes, many car parts can be resold as secondhand parts, reused in car repairs, or recycled. For example, metal car components are easily separated and reused or recycled. Car fluids, such as engine oils, can also be safely collected and recycled, and lead-acid car batteries can also be easily recycled.
Are rubber car mats recyclable?
There aren't many options for recycling rubber car mats, unfortunately. Therefore, you might like to consider some reuse options, such as using them in your garage or as a pet bed. If you need to get rid of your old car mat, you should not put it in your recycling bin at home. It should, unfortunately, be put in your garbage bin.
