No Saturns accepted, WHY?

I finally got around to cleaning out the garage of accumulated scrap metal and junk parts. Rented a U-Haul and went down to the local metal recycler. At the weigh-in scale, there was a prominent sign that said



"Attention tow truck drivers the following vehicles will not be accepted for recycling"


"ALL SATURN VEHICLES"



So now I'm curious. Should have asked at the time but it was busy a heck there and I just wanted to take care of what I came to do and go.



Is there just not enough metal on the Saturns to make recycling worthwhile?

It's because when they put Saturn parts in the metal mashers, they just pop back to normal shape again. :-) marx404

Not enough parts, period. Most don't cross with any other GM parts, the plastic body stuff's not really going to be resaleable, and let's face it, resale on an older Saturn's not great - so imagine what the used parts market's like....
