Why Eco-Friendly Auto Recycling Matters

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.


Our Eco-Friendly Vehicle Recycling Process

We believe in complete transparency and sustainability at every stage of our recycling process. Here’s how RST Calgary handles vehicle recycling responsibly:

1. Vehicle Assessment and Pickup

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.

2. Safe Fluid Removal

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.

3. Battery and Tire Recycling

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.

4. Dismantling and Parts Recovery

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.

5. Metal Recycling

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.

6. Environmentally Safe Disposal

Any remaining materials that cannot be recycled are safely disposed of following Alberta’s environmental protection guidelines.


Benefits of Choosing Eco-Friendly Auto Recycling

♻️ Reduce Environmental Pollution

Proper recycling prevents oil leaks, chemical spills, and heavy metal contamination, keeping Calgary’s soil and water clean.

🔋 Conserve Natural Resources

Recycling vehicle parts and metals reduces the need for mining new materials — saving energy and protecting natural habitats.

💡 Promote Energy Efficiency

Manufacturing new metals requires far more energy than recycling existing ones. Your recycled car helps lower carbon emissions and energy waste.

🚗 Encourage Sustainable Automotive Practices

By recycling your car responsibly, you’re supporting an eco-conscious approach that promotes sustainability in the automotive industry.

💰 Potential Cash Value

Some vehicles still hold scrap value — meaning you can earn cash while going green when you recycle through RST Calgary.
