Best Management Practices Toolbox
Auto recyclers store, dismantle, and sell vehicles and vehicle parts. They collect used cars and reclaim reusable parts and valuable materials for re-sale and re-use.

Auto recyclers engage in various activities that have the potential to generate pollutants including; disassembling vehicles, storing parts and materials, and crushing and scrapping vehicle bodies. They also drain vehicle fluids and are required to recycle fluids as well as other materials. Best Management Practices must be implemented to prevent pollutants from entering the storm drain system.
