The U.S. Navy’s first nuclear-powered surface warship made its maiden voyage around the world without stopping once to refuel. But the USS Long Beach, a guided-missile cruiser, has finally received a junkyard sentence almost 50 years since it set sail.
Automotive Recyclers of Canada (ARC) is calling for a national approach to the environmental management of end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) in Canada.
In a submission to the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment, ARC notes that although ELV processors are subject to a number of provincial and federal requirements, ELV management practices are highly variable.
“The lack of common processing standards for ELVs is significant,” the ARC submission states. “While used parts and scrap metal values are driving high recycling rates, ELVs also include a number of substances of concerns that incur costs when properly removed.
Great event!! Things are going full speed ahead at the recycling yard.
If you have to post a sign like this on your car I think it is ready for the junkyard!
We created some new videos and we also had a bit of fun!

Toronto, ON – October 14th, 2011 – Standard Auto Wreckers (www.StandardAutoWreckers.com) today announced its adoption of the Crow Environmental (www.crowenvironmental.net) vehicle de-pollution system in its Toronto, Ontario location. Crow’s innovative de-pollution system is an effective system for the de-polluting of end-of-life vehicles by removing toxic fluids and pumping them to fluid storage tanks for re-use and environmentally safe disposal. The Standard Auto Wreckers facility recently installed one high volume stand-alone system along with four customized units and now has the only Crow Environmental five bay system in Ontario.
Paul Coon, Vice President of Green Vehicle Disposal commented, “We currently have more than 100 auto recyclers in our program across North America and I highly recommend all affiliates and any auto recycler who is serious about protecting the environment to invest in a Crow Environmental System, it is that good!”
David Gold, Owner of Standard Auto Wreckers shared his excitement about the Crow system. “I can’t tell you how excited we are to have this system installed in our recycling yard, we searched for years for the best solution and we finally found it with Crow Environmental vehicle de-pollution system. You can’t put a price on protecting the environment; this system represents a substantial and worthwhile investment for us!”
In addition to being the founding member of the Green Vehicle Disposal Program (www.GreenVehicleDisposal.com) in Canada and the USA, Standard Auto Wreckers is also well known for their charity work and are the founders of Charity Car donation programs in both the USA and Canada (www.CharityCar.ca and www.CharityCar.us).
