— GURNEE, Illinois — Auto Parts City, a leading automotive recycling facility in Gurnee, Illinois, is making major investments in both recycling technology and public education—including a new copper recovery system and a quarter-million-dollar material-handling machine designed specifically for dismantling vehicles.
The company’s new copper recovery equipment processes automotive wiring and separates valuable copper from its insulation. This “urban mining” technology allows Auto Parts City to recover more reusable material from end-of-life vehicles while reducing waste and improving recycling efficiency.
Auto Parts City has also invested approximately $250,000 in a powerful new claw machine and vehicle dismantler. The specialized equipment allows the facility to remove engines, transmissions, aluminum radiators and other recyclable components more safely and efficiently.
“We are constantly investing in better equipment and better ways to recycle vehicles,” said an Auto Parts City representative. “A junk vehicle contains an incredible amount of reusable material. Our job is to recover as much of it as possible and keep it out of the landfill.”
In addition to its investments in recycling technology, Auto Parts City has developed what it proudly considers the most entertaining and informative junkyard social media presence on the Internet.
Auto Parts City publishes interesting new content nearly every day, giving millions of viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the automotive recycling industry. Its videos feature unusual vehicles, high-mileage cars, rare junkyard discoveries, engine removals, crushing operations and the fascinating stories behind vehicles reaching the end of the road.
Rather than keeping the automotive recycling process hidden from public view, Auto Parts City brings viewers directly into the yard and shows what happens to junk vehicles after they are purchased.
“Our goal is to be the best in the recycling business and to have the best junkyard social media channels anywhere on the Internet,” the company said. “We want people to see that modern automotive recycling is much more than simply crushing cars. Every vehicle has a story, and nearly every part and material can have another purpose.”
Through its combination of advanced equipment, responsible recycling and highly original daily content, Auto Parts City is helping redefine what a modern automotive recycling facility can be.
