Almaimports Auto Wrecking Yards In Phoenix make money by opening their facilities to the public. Those who most often frequent these facilities are those who are repairing a car of the same make, year and model; this can either be the owner or small independent service garages that often source used parts for the vehicles they are working on.
When the wrecking yard takes in a vehicle that is a total wreck there may not be much in the way of usable salvage, however, there is still considerable value in the car. The yard employees can dismantle the vehicle, separating it into glass, copper, aluminum, steel, etc and sending all this to companies that specialize in recycling. These companies normally crush or melt the scrap material and sell it on again to steel mills, glass plants, etc. This recycling service is not only lucrative; it saves from putting additional stress on what limited space is left in landfills.
