The unfortunate thing when you sell a car for scrap is that so little of your car is recycled. Scrap metal dealers simply pull out all the materials that aren't steel, and throw the rest into our nation's growing garbage dumps.

Unlike the traditional scrap metal company, they'll drain all of the fluids, remove the lead and mercury, and recycle more than just the steel. The downside is that you often have to pay them, while scrap metal dealers pay you.

The charities may seem like a better option, but the reality is that the vast majority of charities simply sell your car for scrap anytway.
