Free pickup, safe recycling, and responsible auto disposal in Calgary and nearby areas.
Every year, thousands of vehicles are abandoned or improperly scrapped, leading to hazardous waste and pollution. Cars contain toxic fluids, metals, and materials that can contaminate soil and groundwater if not handled correctly.
That’s why eco-friendly recycling is essential — it allows us to recover valuable resources while preventing environmental harm.
At RST Roadside Service and Towing, we follow strict recycling protocols and partner with certified auto recyclers who dismantle vehicles safely, ensuring that:
Usable parts are refurbished and resold
Scrap metal is melted and reused
Fluids are safely drained and recycled
Non-recyclable materials are disposed of according to environmental standards
When you recycle your car with RST, you’re contributing to a greener, cleaner future for Calgary.
We believe in complete transparency and sustainability at every stage of our recycling process. Here’s how RST Calgary handles vehicle recycling responsibly:
Once you schedule your vehicle for recycling, our towing team will pick up your car for free anywhere in Calgary or nearby towns. We handle everything — no need to drive or deliver your vehicle.
All fluids, including oil, brake fluid, transmission fluid, antifreeze, and gasoline, are carefully drained and stored. These fluids are either recycled or safely disposed of according to Alberta environmental regulations.
We remove batteries, tires, and other hazardous materials for separate recycling. Batteries are processed to recover lead and plastic, while tires are repurposed for use in roads, playgrounds, or industrial applications.
Our certified recycling partners dismantle the vehicle to recover reusable components — such as engines, transmissions, and alternators — which are reconditioned and sold to reduce the need for new manufacturing.
Once all usable components are removed, the remaining metal frame is shredded and melted to create new steel and aluminum products. This helps reduce energy consumption and raw material mining.
Any remaining materials that cannot be recycled are safely disposed of following Alberta’s environmental protection guidelines.
Proper recycling prevents oil leaks, chemical spills, and heavy metal contamination, keeping Calgary’s soil and water clean.
Recycling vehicle parts and metals reduces the need for mining new materials — saving energy and protecting natural habitats.
Manufacturing new metals requires far more energy than recycling existing ones. Your recycled car helps lower carbon emissions and energy waste.
By recycling your car responsibly, you’re supporting an eco-conscious approach that promotes sustainability in the automotive industry.
Some vehicles still hold scrap value — meaning you can earn cash while going green when you recycle through RST Calgary.
At RST Roadside Service and Towing, we recycle all types of vehicles, including:
Passenger cars and SUVs
Pickup trucks and vans
Commercial vehicles
Motorcycles
Accident-damaged or non-running cars
Flooded, rusted, or scrap vehicles
No matter the make, model, or condition — if it’s not roadworthy, we’ll ensure it’s recycled responsibly.
Our goal is to make recycling your old vehicle as easy as possible. That’s why RST Calgary offers free towing for all vehicles scheduled for recycling.
Here’s how it works:

We arrive on time, inspect your vehicle, and confirm its recycling eligibility.

Fast and Very Good transaction and repair Thanks Dave.Posted on Wade Scott2025-09-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you to Umar and RST Towing for being prompt, professional, and offering competitive pricing. We had a prior commitment, and Umar assured us we didn’t need to be at the vehicle. He handled everything on his own, and the car was delivered to the right spot with no issues. I highly recommend RST Towing to anyone looking for a reliable and reputable company.Posted on nancy chibry2025-08-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Umar was friendly and fast getting the car hitched up. I love that he sent pictures of where the car was dropped off plus pictures of the information he wrote on the key drop off envelope.Posted on A C2025-07-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My car broke down and I needed a tow, so I looked up a few options and saw that RST had really good reviews. I gave them a call and asked for a quote for about 10 kilometers. They gave me an estimate wait time and price right away. Al came within the time given and I paid exactly what was quoted, which I really appreciated. Al was pretty awesome. He not only towed the car but also figured out what was wrong and managed to fix it on the spot. That saved me from having to bring it into a shop just for a diagnosis. I was really happy with the price and especially with Al's attitude. He was very kind, patient, and happy to answer all my questions without making me feel clueless for not knowing much about cars. Overall, a really solid experience.Posted on mohammed arif2025-07-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
