You've finished your lacar project and you've amassed a fairly decent pile of "Junk" car parts<\/a>, and here in lies the conundrum – what to do with them? Believe it or not, how we choose to discard our used car parts<\/a> is becoming a bit of a problem. Strictly speaking, disused car parts<\/a> are supposed to go to specific recycling centers, or a dedicated scrap yard to get a date with the crusher or the smelter. However it's all too convenient and common for us to throw our car parts<\/a> into the general waste, even though we know we shouldn't. This is a real issue though, oceans are even filling up with the stuff (yes, people really do dump car parts<\/a> into the ocean), which is causing some pretty serious marine and environmental problems. In recent years, sperm whales have washed ashore in Germany with a whole heap of unnatural crap in their stomach, including car engine covers. <\/p>\n

While there's good awareness around how to properly dispose of batteries<\/a> and plastics, metal car parts disposal can often get overlooked, but there is one fabulous thing you can do with your old car parts. Upcycle them (seriously!). Car parts can be repurposed to make some seriously cool garage, home and garden items and there is definitely a market out there full of willing buyers for this stuff. <\/p>\n
