- Car Recycling - Did you know that cars can be recycled? Join Curiosity Quest Goes Green host, Joel Greene as he witnesses the massive power of a car crusher! We begin at a facility that collects old cars. The first step is to pick them up with a huge claw and dump them onto a conveyor belt where they get fed into a giant blender that reduces a vehicle down to chunks of scrap. These scrap pieces are then separated out to various piles of metals, plastics, glass, etc. Next, Greene follows the metal to a steel mill next door, as he watches the most visual process of smelting metal and turning it into liquid lava. In this DVD, we learn what all the scrap metal from old cars can become.
A moment of a silence to all the rare, old school, or fancy cars that ended up getting shredded.
The plant rep has endless patience. Most folks would have tossed that dude into the car shredder about 5 minutes in.

And the shot of the operator of the arc pot when he turned and looked at the host as he left seemed like he wanted to toss him in the pot.
James Shanks Yep if looks could kill the host would be a dead man
Kepstein8888, Your comment that "The plant rep has endless patience." shows that he has qualities of a good teacher.
Nah it's a kids show so all that stuff is probably scripted
The fact that the furnace is about the same temperature as the surface of the sun is absolutely mind-blowing.
Video looks like something you would watch in a 5th grade classroom in the 90s
In the 90s they were to busy showing us D.A.R.E videos that sparked a curiosity of drugs in a lot of the Youth
That was back when they used to show kids how the world actually works.
*MEGA* truth. Now “feelings” take precedence.
Sir Brellin it's USA, what do you expect, Sir David Attenborough?..I bet this was in the Discovery Channel as well.
Thank you.
Those fun facts were physically painful
FUNNNNNNNN FACT!!! FUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN FACT!!!!
Here it comes!!!!!! FUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN FACT!!!!!!
As a non Western its actually quite interesting to hear
@@Svaltz It's not the sound. It's the rotation that is clinically detrimental to people's brain.
A child asked his mother "What happens to a car when it is old and no good?"
The mother replied "Someone sells it to your father"
I like your comment
Lol awesome one!
The car bales got much smaller now, I turn a car into 1.4 x 60 cm on average
LOL!
Your comment is the only redeeming feature of this video
The last thing I built before I retired was a car shredder in Tampa, FL. It cost 6.5 mill and from the time we turned the old one off to the time we turned the new one on was 6 weeks. The main body without the grinding wheel in it weighed 1 million pounds. The motor was 7k HP and ran on 14.7kv. A new electric substation had to be built for the new machine. The old one took 6 weeks to fill up a ship with steel and the new one took 6 days to fill the ship. There was always tons of coins laying all over the ground. The 18 hammers that pounded the cars to shreds weighs 900 lbs each and the wheel spun at 800 rpm.
VERY COOL THANKS FOR SHARING
Seth Emai That is a beast of a machine.
coins?
@@Simon-dm8zv Yes coins that fell behind the back seat and anywhere in the cars ended up scattered all over the place. Most of them had some damage though.
@@smarthome2660 Ah I see! Thanks for explaining.
"Auto recycling reduces air pollution by 86%" What does that even mean? compared to just setting them on fire?
compared to using new material mined from the ground
@@moses8758 Oh yeah, I think that is what they meant!
If you got older cars from 00s and older, KEEP THEM! Don’t send them to extinction like this place
Ajingtec, I agree, hold on to them, but only if they can safely be repaired. I finally had to give up and recycle one of mine when the frame on that car finally broke. Too much of the frame was rusted, broken and sections of it missing that it could not safely be welded back together. A lot of good parts then came off that car, which were useful for another similar car of that vintage.
Thank you for giving us something educational and humble to watch
This program was made for children, but you know what?
You just successfully entertained a GROWN MAN. Good job.
Apparently it doesn't take too much to entertain you level of IQ.
Alan Shore No need to be an asshole, buddy.
e3erockstar08 yea that’s what I thought 💭
Sierra Delta Alan must be used to “working” his thumbs on a game controller.
@@kyukyoku_ I know that, but here you are, being what you tell the other people not to be.
The only steel mill in New England is in Rhode Island and generally operates at night only. It is an electric arc steel mill and because Rhode Island has such a surplus of power at night was why the steel mill was built here. This mill also manufactures rebar. Before I retired I use to haul trailer loads of rebar out of that mill 2 or 3 times a month. It been operating for over 25 years.
Scrap is shipped in by truck and rail.
I am not an animal
Awful
@@kennethsee6262 What the hell does that mean?
You can always fix cars you just need the mind and tools unless it crushed tho
Well, I drive a 1994 Rover 214. A rare one now, as it's a three door. Still a dependable and comfortable, economical motor. Every time I go to our refuse tip or recycling centre, or even look at the trash bins around here, I'm reminded of what a wasteful world we live in. Found a 70's record player the other day and have repaired it, already have people interested in it ! I still have 5o's fridge too. The older stuff was generally better built than today's equipment, especially if the new item came from China. The really sad thing is that most refuse dumps won't let people take things away and "Reuse" them. So much for this Reduce Reuse Recycle crap.
Exactly, and the corporations want the people to just buy more and more for their own greed. They never used to be like that, not nearly as much anyway. I hate those car takeback schemes, newer cars are harder to repair when they go wrong and many of those cars that do get scrapped have nothing wrong with them or something that only costs a few hundred to repair when a newer car is much more expensive anyway. The most common year of cars in my country is 1996, lets hope it stays that way for some more years to come.
Wow, 1996, that would mean 20 years of average age. Over here it is just a bit more than 5 years, 7 or 8 or so. And they have these stupid schemes for the car industry paid with taxpayers money as well. So so stupid. Best thing is that they try to tell you that new cars are "cleaner", which is complete bollocks as if production accounts for zero energy or so.
i wouldnt give my old trucks to one of those by back schemes . in most cases when you buy a new car you have payments and interest im not paying 40 grand for a new truck. cheaper to repair what i have. recycling is not 100% environmental. it takes fuel to transport and recycle it
I agree, and yup, bang on about the majority of tips/centres NOT letting you pick n take. Real gold mine sometimes. I pondered about working at one to get 'on the inside' but wages are insufficient. Most play the liability card...
S Midnight Sparky you need to go to pick-a-part.
Cheyenne, when cars in my neighborhood don’t work anymore and you can’t fix them, they sit in people’s yards, waiting for the earth to reclaim them. They’re sometimes covered with a blue tarp.
A present for new presence
What an incredible operation.
Dude I love this host. The only positive thing left on this earth xD
This guy gets excited quite easily.
What a quality video. Such amaze. that "Fact time fact time fact time" had me on the edge of my seat!!
Sarcasm?
have been nice to see the car actually being put into the crusher grinder or whatever you want to call that thing
全てのスマホバンパーやアスファルトなどに生まれ変わってきますよ。簡単にほしくなりつつありますよ。
I always wondered what they did with those crushed cars. making rebar makes sense because there are too many different kinds of Steel being melted together and it would be too costly to get 100% of the Slag out.
Tbf send the slags my way, idm
I had a curiosity a few years ago after that run-a-way train ... explosive fire tragedy at Magentic in Québec, I wrote to both Alberta and one of the rail companies. I made reference to a then very popular T.V. commercial that showed crude oil tailings being dumped into a hopper where the hopper emptied onto a conveyor as the start of the process of reaping this oil harvest. I suggested that what the conveyor was carrying up a 45 or more degree angle to be dumped into the next part of the process, be dumped instead into an up-ended tank type rail car with modification to the rail-car, making the end removable. My purpose was and is, that if the crude were transported without the highly volatile solvents, this would be much safer. The top end-cap would be redesigned to be removeable and replicable to drop the material off the conveyor until the tank was full. Said tank car would then be lowered to horizontal, rolled to destination where emptying could be accomplished by tipping the rail-car so the opening is at the bottom along with using steam connected at the other end of the rail-car to both heat and force the crude out.
I must have struck a chord because I have never seen that commercial since. I believe if crude oil were moved by rail car with the above modification to the tank car, and without the present solvents mixed in, a greater safety move will result! Even though we have never done it that way, should we explore this option, I believe we could realize less potential for fire and/or explosions of said tankers. Also, even if a derailment and rupture of said tank car happened, the cleanup of thick crude, I believe, could be realized easier than the present product mixed with solvents or sending the product through pipelines.
thank you

so this is what happened to Lightning McQueen
one day I saw 4 brand new Buick Enclaves go into a shredder.
So recycled cars become steel rebar that is used in buildings. Neat.
7:46 that’s so sad:( poor firebird
Amazing recycling of cars.
Until couple weeks ago I owned a 1996 Plymouth Neon Sport Sedan 4D. Bought the car when it was 4 years old and owned it for 23 years so when I got rid of the car it was 27 years old. The car was having engine problems and was not worth fixing due to cost and it's age so I just let it go. While I owned the car it was a good little car I can't complain too much. At the time I got rid of it the car still had 95% of it's factory installed parts on it.
Extreme engineering.i really want to work here...
My heart is broken @7:45 im not sure what year but that trans am GTA l guess
Between 1986 to 1990
Take tires off, windows out, any that can be reused. Use electromagnet pullout steel. Go through multiple shredders each getting smaller and smaller able separate easier. Takes up less space.
Rebar....the BEST use in the world for Toyota's!!!!
It's a shame that Pontiac GTA Trans Am wound up there that's a car you don't crush and recycle you restore it.
that car was stolen for purpose for scrap especially in Cali
Car guys have A REALLY hard time watching this sort of thing....... I mean that Camaro...... The black firebird..... Then he jumps on the hood.......🤦🤦
2 camaros. The red and the white. Plus in the very beginning i think the light blue car behind him is a challenger.
Cool stuff😎👍🏻.
why did they interview the same people over and over. They knew nothing every single time.
Bbbbbb-But why tho
I learned something. This guy is too much of a goober.
He thinks 3-240 ft makes 1000ft nd 1 ton is 1000lbs 🤦🏼♂️
I replaced all our incandescent light bulbs with LED bulbs. We still have a few fluorescent bulbs but overall, our electric bill has been reduced a good amount. I put two LED floodlight bulbs on my shed that lights up where we park our car. Each one is 10 watts but still very bright.
Mostly American cars ... you don't see Japanese cars here because in different departments called recycling rust
CLASSIC cars should not be "recycled" they should be RESTORED. Nothing makes me more angry than folks reducing the already low numbers of the classics.
I AGREE !! Unfortunately, the chilluns of today are being groomed to believe
" That's Old! Throw it out!
CRUSH! SHRED! TOSS! " !!!
All the energy created to light up Los Angeles for 10 years😂. Yeah right, explain the rolling blackouts 🤔
Great show. Very interesting.
i was amazed by the last fun fact whne they sayd that during w.w.2. they toook enough metal from corset that they mnage to build 2 warship, good god they must have been real tigh ship.
"Cheaper" alternative is relative. I've been to some places where they charge more than you could buy it new from the auto store.. Kinda surprised they're still in business.
These are a great series of environmental videos that will teach kids the importance of recycling. Keep up the good work.
This is so badass!!!!
I wish Steve Brule would have hosted this 😂 "Let's check it out!"
24:38 The baked beans were with us all along
The host's uncle must own the video company.
Oh I feel queezy, was talking to my mum about what happened to crushed cars & found this video, when he was going on about the melting process & "tapping the heat" my stomach went as literally at 2am this morning I was watching Mr Ballens latest video in which 5 of 6 men were killed in 2017, after a blockage dislodged releasing the liquefied coal slag.
Host: "Wow....oh my goodness...wow...really?...wow...oh my goodness...wow...really?...oh my goodness"
I once saw a railroad gondola car full with shredded automobile at Fullerton, California train station... That must have weighed an un-Godly amount of weight! You could smell the motor oil from all of that metal. Amazing how much weight can be moved by rail.
Host: Look at me! I've got a hard hat, safety specs and a high-viz jacket!
Y tho
Cars should not be as disposable as they are in today's society.
Those scrapyards are far from green.
Neat :) Always wondered where/how they used all the stuff we separate to recycle :)
Very informative and educational conrent
You entertain us, Funny Joe!
King Dahmon, he entertains us, AND he educates us. This is a winning combination, in my opinion.
San Bernardino, California is my hometown (born & raised) - but left there in 1993.
something feels state-sponsored about this video
I wish there was more on the shredder and downstream the hammermill and eddy current belts and airtables are very interesting
Useful information
Car can last for ever if well maintained.
I watched this documentary about a killer robot from the future sent back to the 1980s to terminate a guy. It was destroyed by putting it into a furnace like that.
I've hauled rebar out of CMC Steel in Seguin, Texas and bar steel out of Nucor Steel Bar Mill in Jewett, Texas. They load you up with some hot steel.
Oh what a waste!! Some cars still had tires, rims, tailights and a grill on them!! No wonder people can't find replacement parts for their older cars! How terrible!!
About anything metal will go to the shredder or steel mill ! They take it all !
@12:17 the fence keeps people from walking into the molten metal waterfall. When you have to carry hot metal buckets of slag down to the river. Those poor fishes just melt and boil.
Incredible process!
Very interesting documentary about car recycling.
I would like to see a new video about how to recycle cars it's very interesting and cool how it's done. If I had a recycling business I would strip the car to Bare Steel then put it in the shredder but anyway you do it is still awesome
If they would pull the glass out of them you can recycle that as well. Shredder equals Hammer mill. Rebar is short for reinforcement bar
A lot of 80’s-90’s cars. Must have been early 2000’s.
Always wondered! Thanks.
Who dislikes a car recycling video?
Anyone who has respect for car culture, restoration, and collection
what's lacking in the whole recycling idea is the will to do it
i saw way too many complete classic american cars in this yard, 60s - 80s.
so much energy used just makes anyone wonder where is the profit. Geesh, from employees to packaging. just wow.
I have done this for 22 years..fun interesting job
What would be the r1uorements for small iron recycling plant.. how to remove impurities like plastic and other non ferrous one effeciently...
@@NitinRana108 they are called sorters on a conveyor belt...a downstream system on a larger scale with cyclones
Seems like there's some excess heat that could recovered for energy.
I didnt expect curiosity quest lol, i like this show.
What happens to old cars? My neighbor out the road puts them on blocks in his front yard. Seriously, I'm not sure if it's an art project or if he's trying to piss people off...
U probably noticed its his yard his property he can store anything he wants
Its probably pedro
Imagine getting pranked by somebody who works at this company: Hey...what did you do with my car?
Reporter: “what is a billet”
Girl: “a dog without a tail”
Ok then
and this is why many millenials are dumb as stones.
I operate an industrial plastic shredder, this would be cool to operate.
It must never get cold there
We have a mobile crusher and mini shredder but on crushed cars we use hay wrap to contain the debris if you have ever unwrapped a round bale of hayvyou knownthat stuff sticks to anything if lost so many shirt buttons earbuds sleeve buttons very effective i imagine much cheaper than construction netting like in the video
What do they do with car engines
In the shredder. Aluminum and iron.
So is that all that a car is good for when being recycled is making rebar?
Gotta make a process to make roads cheaper for space for more cars than just figuring out a process of ACTUALLY recycling a thing into itself
How many cars per 1000 feet of rebar..?
Fun Fact Fun Fact Fun Fact...Here's Your Fun Fact!!!
Ohhh Dear Lord help her...
Ok for steel, but plastic, rubber, glass, fiber, Electric and electrinic parts etc are missing
7:49 in back left /1970 pontiac tempest [blue] you cant'''''''' buy a nose for these/waste
That's what I said too, a terrible waste, no wonder people can't find parts for their older cars! 😤😠
7:30 Oh my god it's a pontiac trans sport minivan in the back!
da,m
They're rare for all the wrong reasons.
what does that mean
Shyzah
why u say my name
The word "cool" doesnt shoot him so get rid of it and change it to great.
Anybody else feel that uncomfortable sense of embarrassment for that dippy reporter?
Jeri Atrix whos the idiot? That is his job dumbass.. Hes there to ask the questions that uninformed people want to know.... Hes an actor.. And id bet he could beat your dumb ass in a game of chess..
What's embarrassing is that you didn't realize its a kids show.
I don't see a problem. You're salty bro
That "dippy reporter" was Michael Moore an activist Liberal with an agenda. This was a film pushing Moore's position against private schools in the US. If you check google, Finland is 5th behind S. Korea, Japan, Singapore, and Hong Kong. If you know anything about Asian culture you will find that they are very rigorous and work very hard at education. Asian children do not have a leisurely life but yet rank higher in educational results. It would be good to find out what the criteria was for determining which educational system was best before you jump to any conclusions. The US has a lot of cultural diversity problems that countries like S. Korea and Japan etc. do not have to deal with. These problems impact the public school system significantly.
That dippy reporter forgot to yell out "Boom Goes the Dynamite!!"
That poor white Camaro that hurts
Yes thats true but most car recycling documentarys dont even bother to show the foundrys that melt down the crushed shredded cars and show and explain how its melted down cast rolled out squeezed cooled and cut into the finished product.
You guys, go easy on the script and the host. This was made for children. :)
Children are NOT idiots!
We must stop dumbing down life!
A well-rounded child should be comfortable enough (with themselves!) to say "Stop, I don't get it". Then, you just re-explain it, using different words or examples.
What Adults think is
'Age-appropriate' is often short-changing the kid!
If you mute this it’s actually a decent watch.
Cause u'd do a better job rite?
Joel is a hottie
