What is car scrapping?
Any type of vehicle will render useless at some point meaning they are no longer worth to even fix or repair. This might happen due to accidents or just old age and high mileage. These type of cars usually don’t attract any buyers. The only people who buy them are scrapyards. Scrapping a car means salvaging useable parts and using the frame of the vehicle for scrap metal. Scrapping a car is also very environmentally friendly since almost every part of the vehicle is recycled. It’s also better than letting it rot on the street which may be hazardous.
