Scrap Tire Recycling Info

Barberton Junk Cars is an outfit buying cars for cash 6 days a week throughout Summit, Portage and Medina counties. In the auto scrap industry, those of us who buy junk cars are impacted by the fluctuations in pricing and values of several major commodities such as steel, aluminum, palladium and platinum. Car buyers in the US have recently been feeling the squeeze from dramatic over-supply of such. Our organization believes in waste diversion by striving to reuse & recycle as much material as possible. Our fundamental goals include having a positive environmental impact for the preservation of needed resources.

The city will host a scrap tire collection event May 21^st and May 28th. The program is available to all Barberton residents. Participants must show a valid ID and a utility bill from Barberton. The cost is $1 a tire. Tires can be with or without rims, though rims won’t be returned. Only pickup truck tires and smaller sizes will be accepted. Drop off tires from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on both days at the city’s utility garage off of Snyder Ave., behind the towpath trailhead. The original article is available at http://www.ohio.com/

We certainly encourage and support the city’s continued efforts directed toward environmentally sound recycling programs. Many US cities have experienced the unfortunate illegal “scrap tire dumping” by unscrupulous individuals. These folks are too cheap to pay for proper disposal and will dump a load of auto scrap tires wherever they can.

We buy junk cars and scrap vehicles with complimentary damaged vehicle hauling included. When we purchase cars for cash, the seller must have the title on-hand with corresponding photo ID. As established car buyers in the region, we seek to offer same-day or next-day retrieval of your old car to get you fast cash. Were you aware that our “green” scrap & recycling practices preserve natural resources, lower costs in many manufacturing processes and decrease pollution overall. We are a junk vehicle recycler with a commitment to “green” practices, our recycling of steel can result in the usage of 60% less energy.
