Sustainability
Recycling is one of the easiest ways we can help the environment and reduce our carbon footprint. Scrap metals can be recycled and used again for an indefinite period without losing their quality, meaning we protect and preserve some of nature’s most limited resources.
The energy required to mine, process and transport metals isn’t green and results in huge amounts of CO2 being released into the atmosphere. By recycling, we can effectively limit the amount of energy required and reduce the level of CO2 emissions, making it a much more sustainable practice.
- We process all products according to EPA guidelines (as per EPA Act, 1st July, 2021).
- Nationally over 750,000 cars reach their end of economic life each year, creating one million tonne of waste. We are here to ensure these cars are processed in an environmentally friendly way and that the quality used parts can be reused, helping both our customers and the environment
- In 2017, there was 210,000 tonnes of automotive waste ended up in landfill (nationally) and 63,000 tonnes of this total was in Victoria. We are here to reduce this waste and save you money.
- We only work with reputable businesses to recycle all of our metal products at their end of life, with the aim to keep as much of the end of life vehicle out of landfill.

Just for fun
Dom Dolla contacted us about using our Pick-A-Part to create his official music video for his tech-house track ‘Pump The Brakes‘, which was released in 2021. The video was as a tongue-in-cheek ode to his much-loved 2001 Toyota Camry. We are big supporters of the arts and thought it was a great way to support a local artist and showcase our yard. Enjoy!
