So the car is crushed into tiny pieces. Is there any machine which sorts these pieces so that they can be effectively recycled? can we see that working also, please?

Given what sometimes gets posted on liveleak, was almost expecting a dead hoodlum in the boot. Thankfully not!!

Anyhow, more of this at SSI Shredding Systems

The engine really didn't want to go in there. the only stuff that is easy to remove from the shredded remains is ferrous and that is nearly worthless at 5p/Kg.

Now the loom on pre modular wiring cars is about 20Kg of copper, PVC wire 95p/Kg if the connectors are cut off. Alloy parts (like the wheels)

48p/Kg, it's easy to take the wheels off.

Alloy wheels 75p/Kg here.

Car with engine 6p/Kg. Disney made a Snuff movie. It was called Herbie Fully Loaded. Sorry it's in Spanish

The 240SX that Herbie jumped on and f****d the life out of was just sweet 16 in 2005.

Just 434 hatchback 200SX taxed at Q4 2015, 879 sorn.

I thought we were going to see the grisly remains of some gangster getting chewed up in his car. ;-)

There proably is. That's the whole idea behind this. Easy to process pieces into metals, glass, plastic, rubber or textiles. Remninds me of what you find in the verges of almost every motorway in the country.

Although you might not find a steering wheel. People hold on to that...

Yup. Apparently so ...

"fingernail and bone shards were removed from a piece of debris believed to be a portion of the steering wheel."
