When a vehicle accumulates five or more parking violations that have been appropriately filed with the Clerk in the Municipal Count, it may be subject to impoundment and /or immobilization by the authorities. The process of impoundment or immobilization may be conducted even if the car is legally parked at that time. The owner will be liable for the fees and impound charges. For the vehicle to be released, the owner must pay all fines and penalties and present the vehicle title. The maximum required bond to be posted for release is $1,000. When parking-related penalties remain unpaid, the appropriate agency such as the parking violations bureau, joint violations bureau, or traffic violations department involved may notify the state Bureau of Motor Vehicles. The full listing of city violations is available here.

At the University of Indiana, they produced a report known as the A Macroeconomic Study of Federal and State Automotive Regulations. Here is an excerpt relating to consumer fuel savings: “Vehicles powered by electricity may save a consumer roughly $5,700 to $7,400 over the period of ownership on fuel. Buyers may have a perception regarding fuel costs that do not reflect federal agency projections. Most buyers do not plan on retaining a newly purchased automobile for its entire useful lifespan. These cars can last for approximately 13 – 15 years and most buyers keep cars for 6 to 7 years and then consider trading it in when ready to buy again.

In the 1970s period during the oil embargo, Chrysler tried introducing two models which were “ultra-efficient”, the Feather Duster and the Dart Lite. They did not have great success with these models at the time. During the 1990s, Honda remained focused on offering fuel efficient vehicles compared to their competitors. Although difficult to quantify, it did not seem that Honda truly benefitted from their enhanced fuel efficiency and have since not focused on MPG as much. In other countries where fuel costs are much higher, they have persisted in leading the market in this category. Studies have difficulty proving that U.S. consumers are highly motivated to buy cars based exclusively on fuel efficiency; however, time will probably tell as more of these vehicles enter the market at comparable prices to traditionally powered cars.

“The Unalaska City Council sanctioned $275,000 to ship junk vehicles and scrap material off the island. The council hired Deforge Marine Towing to remove 200 old cars and roughly 900 tons of scrap materials to the Port of Seattle site. The current landfill takes both scrap objects and junk cars. These items gather quickly to the extent that according to Public Utilities Director Dan Winters, has become a necessary activity for the community.  Lately, numerous crushed miscellaneous trucks were lifted onto a barge at the Unalaska Marine site by a scrap specialist after being brought in on trucks that are connected to flatbed trailers borrowed from the landfill.

The organization has learned that the truly best way to ship the items off island is via barge. Loading-style vans with the materials are a costly, and often time consuming event.  The local government earlier excluded bids as too high. In April, several contractors submitted bids ranging in price from $550K to $1,100,000. In addition, the council approved a $1.4 million contract with N. Alaska Contractors to build a 35 kilovolt electric power line addition for Westward Seafoods. The local electric system “can afford more efficient power at an significantly lower cost since the new supply was brought on line.” The complete story is available here.

A new report from CNN says:  “The vehicle industry is changing dramatically today than it has in the past few decades,” GM CEO Mary Barra has said openly — more than once.   We may be nearing a revolution in personal transportation. It’s true that the U.S. auto market had rough times during and after the 2008 economic crisis, when both GM (GM) and Chrysler needed federal assistance to survive bankruptcy. But that was a pretty basic crisis, caused by high labor costs and a drop in auto sales due to a bad economy.   The challenges new are posed by electric & self-driving vehicle, and it is different.  Auto manufacturers are investing big money into development of these new cars. Meanwhile, they’re facing tremendous threats from new companies like Tesla (TSLA) and Uber, as well as from technology organizations with deep pockets such as Google and Apple.   We may be at a major turning point in the industry. The simple nature of the cars will be altered. The units by which we consider transportation could be changed.

In the 1960s, the Japanese imports like Toyota and Honda changed the market. Ford says they need to cut $3B in to free up money to invest in new products. There were studies earlier that in order to do so, the employers may trim its overall work force by about 10%, or by 20,000 jobs.  Auto makers are also reducing costs thanks to a slowdown in U.S. auto market after seven consecutive years of sales development that reached record levels.  GM has cut creation at four of its U.S. assembly plants and laid off over 4,000 workers. Fiat Chrysler also reduced their employment levels. Toyota & Nissan have reportedly cut production also.  Tesla has risen in market value and is currently greater than that of than either Ford or GM.  But not even Tesla’s longer success is a given since Google’s Waymo segment continues to develop self-driving cars. The complete story is available here.

Joe Ryan of Bloomberg recently posted a story on Auto News explaining the following:  “Many U.S. cities are considering the purchase of $10B worth of electric cars & trucks to show cynical automakers there is a demand for lower-emission cars, just as President Trump seeks to look over the pollution levels the industry opposes.  Some cities including NY and Chicago together asked automakers for the prices and feasibility of providing over 100,000 electric vehicles, including police vehicles, street sweepers and trash removal trucks, said LA Mayor Garcetti, who is leading the effort. That would be comparable to about 72% of total national plug-in sales last year. While city leaders seek more lower-emission cars to lessen the role city traffic plays in impacting the climate, automakers say there aren’t truly that many buyers. The Trump team does seek to remove regulations which are stifling industry

The initiative is still in the beginning stage; however, cities may try to proceed further. Many cities are asking about cars that don’t exist yet, such as electric fire department vehicles and commercial trucks.  This is predominately a Democrat-based movement. Auto manufacturers have been aggressively attempting to meet emission reduction deadlines. For whatever reason, citizens still like gas-powered vehicles. Los Angeles began the efforts for a shared electric-vehicle ordering to reduce pricing and increase demand during the Paris climate change environmental conference back in late 2015.”

The March 2, 2017 edition of the Maui News informed us of an auto scrap recycling program: “Those residing in Maui County may now dispose of (1) vehicle each year for free via a new county abandoned auto program. An Abandoned Vehicles – Junk Vehicle Disposal Assistance Program (JVDAP), has been established, allowing for the free scrap of a car annually until funding is consumed, according to the local Department of Environmental Management.  Local inhabitants of the area are required to register these old vehicles as “permanently junked” and then bring them to Hammerhead Metals, the participating metals recycling facility.

Users will be asked to complete a brief survey to monitor the progress of the program. Owners are required to bring proper documents to participate. Eligibility includes passenger vehicles, pick-up trucks and vans weighing up to 3 tons. They further asked that the cars are cleaned of excessive household trash or other waste. They cannot accept camper shells when they are junked. Vehicles may be brought in with fluids and are accepted regardless of condition. For full eligibility requirements and documents, go to www.mauicounty.gov

The JVDAP is funded through a Highway Beautification & Abandoned Vehicles Fund, generated from annual vehicle registration fees.  It assists those residents in disposing of their junk vehicles safely and legally while eliminating the volume of abandoned vehicles littering the roads.

In February 26, 2017 edition of Auto News, Sharon Silke Carty posted a story of interest as follows: “Those making auto payments with that have poor credit are sometime subjected to surveillance from their auto loan lenders, who install GPS tracking devices and kill switches on the car to disable it if the owner fails to keep up with the payments on time. Now the FTC is taking a look at this exercise to see if the devices are a violation of consumer privacy or can be considered harassment from the banks. Credit Acceptance Corp., based in Southfield, Mich., says it is being investigated by the FTC involving its policies & practices for using the devices.

Bloomberg reported that another lender, DriveTime Auto, is also being looked into. DriveTime told Bloomberg it does not use kill switches, but the autos that it finances have GPS trackers already installed. These devices are being used increasingly as the pool of subprime auto loans increases. The Fed Reserve Bank of NY says that subprime auto loans are rising, along with an increase in delinquencies. About 6M people were 90 behind on their car payments at the close of 2016, according to a recent study by the bank. Devices such as kill switches & GPS tracking units help lenders lower losses when loans are unpaid by allowing  faster repossession according to Michael Benoit, partner at Hudson Cook, a law firm focused on consumer financial services.”

Lauren Trager from STL KMOV composed an article on Feb 14, 2017 with the following information: “A local father lost his son in March as a result of a drunken driving accident. John Allen’s son John, lost control of his car and hit a pole on Highway 141. His son was merely 22 years old and had been battling demons and was hooked on thrills and alcohol. Allen’s son may be gone; however, the wrecked vehicle remains.

The vehicle is mounted on top of a trailer in the back of his property; Allen shields the vehicle as best he can.  He wishes to use the car as a reminder for others of the dangers associated with drunk driving.  He wants to use the car to show students attending prom or DUI offenders. His Homeowner’s Association is not supporting the initiative. Letters from the HOA were received after they fielded complaints about the car, wanting him to remove it.  They indicated that they had authority to remove the car at his expense.

The HOA had a lawyer, thus Allen was unsure how to get an exception to the provision. No one agreed to speak on camera, but after several calls and emails, the HOA’s lawyer changed his mind. Allen then received a letter stating they it wouldn’t be a junk vehicle as long as it’s used for education. The car was allowed to remain and Allen was relieved. They are working with the local chapter of MADD as well as local schools, who may use the car to illustrate the danger associated with drunk driving.”

“Plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) owners are altering the ways they fuel their cars. Rather than a 15-minute visit to a gas station, most PEV owners recharge while at home and plugged-in during the night. To charge them at home overnight, drivers can choose a Level One or Level Two charger option. The decision is based on preference, needs and costs or install. Level Two chargers refuel PEVs much faster than Level One, but require higher installation costs. In some instances, Level One charging doesn’t have installation costs. Level One charging requires a 110/120-volt outlet, the 3-prong plug-type available in some parking areas. It requires 15 amps of steady load to charge roughly 5 miles per hour. 78% of PEV drivers average 15-45 miles of daily driving, which requires 3 to 8 hours of Level One charging.

Level 2 charging requires a 208/240-volt outlet & charges PEVs must faster: 3.3 kW (30 amps) to 19.2 kW (100 amps). Most vehicles currently on the market are only capable of using 30 amps for 3.3 or 6.6 kW charging with a charge rate varying at 8-24mph. Level Two charging is preferred for early buyers of PEVs. The important consideration when selecting charge levels in an MUD environment is the electrical load requirements. The Level One load is smaller, close to a microwave. Level 2 charging will generate a significant new load for the property. In both cases, an owner or renter should hire an electrician to estimate the capacity of the property and to determine if it could be supported.  Single-family homeowners, unlike MUDS, usually have sufficient capacity to support overnight charging and the install of the charging equipment (electric vehicle equipment or EVSE) is a simpler cost and process. The costs of installing EVSE in a MUD parking area may vary greatly and possibly be cost prohibitive. Costs occur at 2 stages of installation:

• Investing in sufficient electrical capacity to support the additional load of PEV charging: Electrical upgrades, at either within the panel or utility service level, can add installation costs depending on the configuration of the property & the utility that services it.
• Connecting the EVSE to the property’s electrical system: To obtain electricity to the EVSE, wiring is run through via an electrical panel to the PEV parking spot. Costs maybe significant as the distance between the 2 increases.”  The full article is available here.

Here is an excerpt from the UCLA study on Alternative & Renewable Fuel & Vehicle Program:  “This study is intended for a broad audience of decision makers & those seeking to move PEV adoption in MUDs and particularly, those in the South Bay region. Many auto owners may find the study useful and this would include regional, municipal entities; state agencies; utility reps; MUD unit owners; members of homeowner groups; as well as PEV & possible PEV drivers. Regional and municipal planners should utilize this report to enable PEV adoption where latent desire in present and simplistic install is needed. By covering the area’s MUD portfolio, this report allows planners to think and conduct targeted outreach & course of action for MUD sites for strategic interventions.

State-based organizations should use this study to comprehend the MUD related barriers to adopting PEV and consider various tools, such as rebates, that lower costs associated with installing EVSE at MUD sites.  Utility reps may find the report beneficial in the identification for where PEV demand and relative electrical growth be most rapid on the area. So Cal Edison (SCE), the major electric utility in the area, just received approval for the 1^st Phase of a Charge Ready rollout to install charging infrastructure at extended dwell-time sites, such MUDs, where PEV drivers are parked for at least 4 hours. SCE may use this study to help identify specific parcels to reach out and other PEV programs.  Property administrators and those in homeowner associations (HOAs) should utilize this report to appreciate the elements of a building’s electrical network and to better analyze the costs of installing PEV at-home charging variables. Current PEV owners and those considering ownership of them should use this study to fully understand the potential costs of installation of PEV charging units at home.” The study in full format is available here.

Marissa Lucero of KRQE posted a story on January 3, 2016 explaining a disturbing trend: “Some tow truck companies across the area are finding that when they bring in abandoned vehicles, many are torched or stripped for parts.  Albuquerque continues to have one of the worst auto theft problems in the U.S, many of these autos simply wind up in an deserted mesa.

Facebook in Albuquerque is flooded with members looking for stolen vehicles. In fact, a site referred to as Albuquerque Stolen Vehicle Watch, is now loaded with many abandoned or missing vehicle photos and such. Many are stripped and burned; the components they need are removed and then the vehicle is set ablaze.  Mr. Rouckus is the owner of MCM Towing & Recovery, who says that roughly 80% of the recovered cars end up being stolen. The Albuquerque PD is doing the best that they can.

Offenders that are getting increasingly brazen; they simply just drop vehicles off in the middle of residential areas. Officer Fred Duran says many prefer to dump them in any empty mesa areas. The crooks are sometimes leaving the vehicles in places difficult to access and police with little to go on.  It is also possible these cars are being used in various crimes and then disposed of, along with any evidence.” The complete article is available here.

Why would those selling a junk vehicle in Grove City, Jefferson, or Hilliard, not contact us to purchase a totaled car?

On December 21, 2016, Tanvir Arfi reported the following on Collision Mag:  “We are used to change in the auto scrap and recycling market, but things seem to be accelerating. There will supposedly be over 200 new electric & hybrid autos in the next couple years. Autonomous cars may be coming soon too. Where is the automotive scrap industry headed? The newer vehicles will have over 80 micro control units within them. Some of which may be recording information, but there’s an snowballing trend towards conveying that data directly to interested people. Telematics is not really new, but the number of autos being retailed with connectivity already built-in just increased dramatically over the last few years. A car that has OEM gateway feeds info directly from the auto to the OEM. This data is tremendously valuable to the OEM, and to insurance providers and the repair shops.

The number of autos sold featuring these has climbed to 7.8% in 2016. That’s a big climb in just a few years, but it isn’t done. Projections of this trend indicate it will rise to 53.3% by 2020 and will continue to rise. Let me assure you, this information will be put to use. Looking at insurance, we can expect to see somewhere between 60 and 120M usage-based insurance policies by 2020, a growth rate of between 60 and 70%. For repairers, this wealth of data has numerous benefits. In addition to receiving a first-notice-of-lose within minutes or second, they’ll be able to determine a total loss nearly immediately. The decision will be largely automated, thanks to the enormous amount of data that the systems will be able to draw on. This has advantages, certainly, but it’s also disruptive to the industries concerned, and that includes automotive recycling. We’re going to see things change, rapidly, if we are prepared for that change or not.

Big data and the growth of telematics are an important factor, but far from the only thing we must consider. We have also seen a veritable explosion of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Many of you may have some of this technology in your car right now, including adaptive cruise control, lane shift assist, limited self-driving capabilities such as Tesla’s Autopilot, blind spot monitoring /assist, park assist, 360-degree sensors, reverse camera and sensors & brake assist systems.”

An article Phil LeBeau on WTHR NBC on December 5, 2016 explains the following: “A new study found many in the U.S. are driving a car that is approximately 11-12 years old. With cars retailing at high prices, people are extending out their vehicle loans to keep their payments as low as possible. Cars and trucks have developed to be more reliable so folks hang on to them longer.  In fact, those purchasing new vehicles today typically own them for almost 7 years – which is nearly 3 years longer than in 2001.

The economics are inspiring the consumer to retain their vehicles longer and because that the vehicle is mechanically better these days that certainly allow for them to hang on to them for longer periods because of the economic factors.  All of this is welcome news for the vehicle industry. Auto components sellers like it because people replace brakes, spark plugs and other components in older cars. If the auto owners aren’t doing it themselves, they are bringing their cars in to a mechanic which means new car dealerships have more occasions to convince consumers it is time to trade in the older models for a newer ones with the latest and greatest features. There are so many new developments that are found in newer autos today that if you find yourself driving an older vehicle, it is similar to calling your friends on a rotary telephone.  Cars manufactured in the 1990s and early 2000s might lack the amenities of the newer cars, but they will stay on the road for potentially a few more years to come. By 2021, it is estimated that 20M cars in America will be a minimum of twenty-five years old.” The complete article is available here.

In the Dec 2, 2016 edition of Waste Dive, Cole Rosengren delivered the following news: “A new online study from the Foodservice Packaging Inst., piloted by Resource Recycling Systems, found that citizens do not respond well to industry language or jargon when it comes to comprehending recycling guidelines, as stated by Plastics News. When presented a picture of a plastic clamshell container, merely 19% of those identified it as such. The term “plastic container” was selected by 61% & 12% picked “to-go container.” The results were comparable when shown a polystyrene clamshell — 50% of those responding selected “foam container” as the top description. When asked what source they usually rely on most for recycling data 31% said their city, county or recycling company’s website, followed by 23% who said signs on reprocessing carts. Among those in the 18-34 range, social media was also a positive choice. As for where they go initially to grasp whether a product is recyclable, 51% of those said they look at its recycling symbol.

Strong education is a vital part of increasing diversion rates & limiting contamination that can be expensive for material recovery facilities. The study also looked at the top language for directing citizens to empty & clean such containers in efforts to better know this issue. The results support advancements in standardized terminology on a broad level that has been motivated by a few groups in particular. Recycle By City has been striving to provide clear online material about the recycling procedures for specific municipalities. Recycle Across America has been working diligently to standardized labels for containers in various public buildings, particularly schools. Rhode Island was the 1st to adopt the labels and make them easily accessible to all governmental outfits and municipalities.

As found in the survey results, customers also still relied on the basic product recycling symbols which is likely a reason why more brands are starting to use the standardized How2Recycle style packaging. A new How2Compost label was just launched also to address the increasing amount of compostable materials coming on the market. All of these strategies are promising, though it is likely that packaging still is outside any actual recycling segment which has encouraged discussions of extended production programs or circular economy implementations to address this.

A November 28, 2016 article in Tire Business told us the following: “Women in Auto Care awarded $60,000 in scholarships to twenty high school and post-secondary students recently, including one $10,000 scholarship to Summer Miller, a student in auto technology at Brookhaven College in Decatur, TX. Formerly known as the Car Care Council Women’s Board (WB), has been bestowing scholarships to young women seeking careers in the auto trades for over 14 years. It publicized the 2016 winners at a press conference during the new Auto Aftermarket Parts Expo (AAPEX) in Las Vegas. Applicants for these scholarships are graded on various criteria, including: essay; activities/volunteering, etc.; grades/GPA; class performance; financials; and industry obligations.

Ms. Miller was granted the Kathleen Schmatz Scholarship, named after the former president and CEO of the Auto Care Association.  This scholarship included a trip to the 2017 AAPEX. Ms. Miller says that the scholarship allows her to focus more on her classes & grades without worrying about tuition. She felt blessed that Women in Auto Care saw her potential and was willing to assist her to achieve goals.  This is Ms. Miller’s 2nd industry scholarship. In 2015 she earned a $2,500 scholarship from Federal-Mogul Motorparts.

The application process for the 2017 scholarships is new available at their website.  The deadline is in March 2017. Those applying must have a minimum GPA of 2.5 or better. High school applicants must be in their senior year, planning on attending an ASE-certified, post-secondary auto technology program, while post-secondary tech applicants must have already completed 1-year at an ASE-certified, auto technology program.”

A story from Fox 8 News New Orleans brings us the news about unwanted vehicles as follows: “The New Orleans Dept of Public Works will officially have an abandoned car auction on Tuesday, November 29. The location at Almonaster Auto Pound on 10200 Almonaster Ave. begins at 9 a.m. Vehicle previewing and registration is slated for Monday, November 28 from 9 am to 4 pm. The city hopes to sell off roughly 63 vehicles. Each of these vehicles was either discarded on a neighborhood street or left behind by someone with excessive parking fines & fees. The city has previously conducted thirty-one such auctions since 2010. They have sold off roughly 3,055 abandoned cars, which contributed over $2M toward the city’s general funds. The buyer price has a $50 administrative fee added on to obtain a notarized title after making the payment. This is done to allow the buyer to forego bringing the paperwork to the DMV to apply for titling.

All auto information is currently on Brown’s Auction Web site, www.brownsauction.com. On the specific terms of the contract, the available car list includes the VIN, make, year, model, & lien holder information. Any auction-relative inquiries should be forwarded to Brown’s Auction Co. This present auction will be marketed on Friday, November 25. Before the auction, efforts are made to reach the vehicle’s owner or lien holder before the cars are placed on the block. Vehicle possessors or lien holders may choose to pay off all fines & fees and retrieve their vehicles before the event. Only cash or cashier’s checks are accepted. Payment must be done on the day of the auction. If payment isn’t received, the vehicle will be re-placed for the next event, and the $50 deposit is lost. The $50 admin fee will be extra for each purchased vehicle therefore giving buyers a notarized title to that car. They ask that city workers and relatives of them abstain from participating.”  The full article is available at this link.

On November 21, 2016 Alex Kwanten & David Kushma composed an article on Auto News with the following details: “Why shouldn’t franchised dealers just forget about auto body repair? Just 40% of U.S. new-vehicle dealers have body shops. Dealers are selling their shops to, or entering into partnerships with, independent chains & consolidators. The big players are in body-center operations these days are Gerber, ABRA, Caliber & ServiceKing. These (4) own nearly 4% of body repair centers in the US & Canada – about four times the number they held (5) years ago. An industry expert predicts their share of the market will rise in 2025. Body repair is a $35B business in the US –a lot of money to cede to competitors

AutoNation Inc., the biggest U.S. dealership group, is structuring its 70 body centers under its retail brand — & plans to launch or acquire at least fifteen more centers within (2) years. AutoNation also is beginning its own line of repair & service parts & is expanding its used-vehicle dealer network, including body repair sites. The goal of these programs is better customer retention in the service departments of all dealers. Experts say not too run your body center as an afterthought. Fully integrate your body shop — even if it’s off-site — with the service department and sales operations. This enables you to take advantage of both the dealership’s & the manufacturers brand value to lure customers.

Each of the (4) major consolidators — Caliber Collision, ServiceKing, ABRA Auto Body & Glass & Gerber Collision & Glass — expects to do more than $1B in business in 2016. Caliber, ABRA & ServiceKing are all privately funded; Gerber is a subsidiary of Boyd Group, a publicly traded Canadian outfit. Romans says the consolidator-owned body shops will account for nearly 15% of total revenue this year & says that figure could rise to more than 20%.

Recently, some franchised dealers & groups — including Fletcher Jones Motorcars, of Newport Beach, CA & Pohanka Auto Group, which operates in the Washington, D.C., area — have sold off their operations to, or otherwise affiliated with, Caliber and others. Other dealers are partnering with body repair chains, notably Carstar. Body shops operated by franchised dealers have some advantages. They get built-in customers. They can mine dealer sales data to sell to repair customers. Automakers often push lease customers to have their cars repaired by dealers with automaker certification, to preserve values. Romans estimates that dealer body shops have a higher chance than independent competitors of repairing new cars during at least the 1st few years on the road. Sonic Automotive Inc. integrates body repair operations in its local markets in a struggle to gain efficient economies of scale. Sonic places its 18 large body repair shops at the center of a hub-&-spoke network. The complete story is available here: http://www.autonews.com/article/20161121/RETAIL05/311219987/1434

“Though the formation and modeling clay is a pastime of many kids, who can craft and recycle the stuff for years, The Ford Motor Co. is taking after the practice as the company marks to recycle about 2,250kg of clay annually. Employing a new idea to model future cars: craft, re-craft and then go to recycling. Ford says nothing is better than constructing a full-size clay model of a vehicle. The digital technology is currently available and the clay figures remain an critical part of the creative design process, helping designers notice issues in both the inside and exterior of a car.

The organization uses over 80 tons of clay annually to construct these vehicle models. None of this material would be reused otherwise but during the last (5) years the company has used an exclusive machine to recycle more than 9,000kg of clay and avoid landfills. They are constantly being influenced by new technology; however, they want to view physical distinctions earlier in the process, and turn it to clay. Model Manager at Ford’s Studio in Dearborn, MI, Lloyd VandenBrink says. Ford wants most of the clay the firm recycles to come out of a milling process, during which designers use a device to help mold the silhouette of a car. Once collected, these clay chips are positioned in the recycling unit – designed to transfer Ford’s special clay materials. The machine pushes and churns the clay with several blades, removing any air from the material. The clay is then strewn through a nozzle which is under heat to achieve the proper consistency so that it then is able to be recycled.” The complete story is available at http://guardian.ng/features/ford-sees-future-in-recycling-car-modelling-clay/

Quick cash for wrecked cars

Where is a good place to sell an old car in the regions of Lockbourne, Marble Cliff, and Harrisburg, OH? Believe it or not, even a totaled car has some kind of salvageable value in Riverlea, Urbancrest, and Minerva Park, OH. When deciding where to scrap a car in Franklin County, be sure to check that the recycler is an advocate for the environment.

An October 2016 article in The Courier by Denise Grant states: “Lorain County’s recycling program, which includes the recycling of glass bottles, is common for Ohio, according to the state EPA. The focus is the public’s resolve to recycle in the first place, according to Keith Bailey, the existing director of the Lorain County Solid Waste District, a veteran of over thirty years in the industry. There are places for both private and public sectors in environmental recycling. In Hancock County, the recycling program’s first, Litter Landing, is running at a $300K annual loss. It has an archaic baler for cardboard and plastics; works with an aging glass crusher; and annually ships roughly 200 tons of various glass products over to Pennsylvania. Mixed glass rides along for free because it has zero value.

Litter Landing isn’t accepting glass anymore and Hancock County’s recycling program is on life-support. With residents totaling 300,000, nearly (4) times that of Hancock County, Lorain County (LC) handled 5,234 tons of glass in 2014.  LC’s solid waste coordination plan is more than just gathering junk in a bin for shipping elsewhere. A good plan is said to be the best starting point for making adjustments. There is a theory that we’re making money selling recyclables. Many of the recycleable material needs be subsidized. Most of LC’s recycling is done with mobile roll-off bins, with materials processed by private companies. The county facilitates all hazardous waste, as the private sector has been reluctant to do so. LC officials have been occupied with the EPA to find a major glass processor, like Rumpke Consolidated Companies, which is a bit closer (in Dayton). Fees which are collected by the Hancock County Landfill are purposed to balance out recycling losses.  Glass is just difficult to handle and costs labor. A tractor-trailer load of clean brown or clear glass has value of only $200.

EPA officials Marie Barnett, Ernie Stall & Chet Chaney talked about resuming glass recycling, but growing it to include bottles from businesses. Rumpke is one of the US’ bigger privately-held waste recyclers. They are capable of handling 80,000 tons of glass annually. They could offer a market for Hancock County’s glass & limit handling concerns.   In 2014, Litter Landing had operating expenses totaling $436,930.   In 2015, the deficit nearly doubled.”

An October 10, 2016 article on Recycling Today brought up an interesting story: “The U.S. EPA has proclaimed an contract with High Plains Motors Inc. (HPM) agreeing to alleged hazardous waste violations from to the improperly managing used oil, paint solvents, lacquer thinner, and other such materials at an auto dealership and service in Wolf Point, Montana. As part of the settlement, High Plains will pay penalties of $5,758 and finish a junk vehicle recycling initiative on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation. Suzanne Bohan, an EPA regional administrator says that the EPA commends High Plains Motors &Tribal leadership for their decision to work together to safely remove many abandoned cars from the reservation.

Deb Madison, Environmental Manager for the Fort Peck Tribes feels that they look forward to working closely with HPM and the Fort Peck Housing Authority to resolve these environmental problems. The HPM automobile dealership & service center is located on private land just inside the boundaries of the Fort Peck Indian Reservation. EPA regulators in 2015 found that the company had violated some aspects of the Resource Conservation & Recovery Act (RCRA) by not labeling used oil reservoirs and not responding to dumping of used oil at the facility. EPA staff also found that the organization erred in properly managing paint solvent wastes, oil/water/antifreeze mixtures, and lacquer at their site. The EPA issued HPM a compliance demand in 2015, and the establishment has now employed measures to get into compliance with hazardous waste laws.

The proclamation resolves HPMs liabilities for the supposed RCRA violations by finalizing a penalty as well as a supplemental environmental program that will recycle aboout 86 abandoned car on the reservation. After seeking feedback from the Fort Peck Assiniboine & Sioux Tribes and EPA, HPM agreed to work with a local scrap company, Trader’s Den, to retrieve abandoned or junk vehicles on Tribal housing-owned land in the Wolf Point and Poplar areas of the reservation. This process will remove possible sources of pollution from the car such as oil, transmission fluid, coolant, brake fluid, gasoline, & batteries. HPM will properly remove or salvage all recoverable material and will place vehicles at a local scrap site for crushing & recycling.

EPA has also been operational with the Fort Peck Tribes and the local communities of Poplar & Wolf Pt through the agency’s Making a Visible Difference in Communities initiative. A focus of this program is achieving environmental outcomes and reducing them through technical support and grant funding. Recent EPA Brownfields funding is offered in partnership with the Great Northern Development Corp. and Tribes’ Brownfields initiative, is removing contaminants & determining revitalization openings at many old buildings in the area. The removal of these scrap vehicles through this additional project will better the goal of making these communities cleaner & safer places to reside. The full story is available here.

Patrick Healy of NBC Los Angeles informed us of the following auto related story: “Recently a Diamond Bar couple was victimized by brazen and quite speedy driveway thieves. Security camera footage shows two suspects jump out of an SUV, roll underneath a parked Honda CRV, remove components with precious metals and take off. The precious metals — including platinum & sometimes even gold are needed by a piece of emissions control equipment that has been standard equipment in vehicles since the 1970s — the catalytic converter.

Recycling the metals from each of these units can produce scrap value of up to $200, and has made converters a hot item for thieves. The victim named Katia discovered the theft later in the day when she started the vehicle’s engine – and heard a much louder exhaust system with the absence of the converter. The theft happened at 3:30AM; she heard from another resident nearby that half an hour later, thieves had then tried to remove the converter from another car, but he yelled, and they fled.

Both made incident reports with the LA County Sheriff’s Walnut Station; in many households garages are used for storage, and cars are parked out in the driveway. The driveway where the theft occurred was unlit, thus the security video didn’t show the faces of the culprits, or the vehicle’s license plate number. Since the theft, the couple installed a motion sensor light in the driveway. Katia and her neighbor both took their Hondas to the same garage, Vtec Auto Repair. Owner Oliver Lu says he sees many cars from which the catalytic converters were stolen. For Katia’s car, the insurance adjuster estimated the loss as exceeding $2,700. The insurance policy had comprehensive coverage, but the policy holder is still responsible for paying a deductible. The degree of difficulty in removing catalytic converters can vary a bit among different car models. In this Honda, the converter is fastened in place with five bolts that are easily accessed from underneath with a socket wrench. Others require that the exhaust pipe is severed and some separate the converter into (3) separate components, one of which is reachable only by opening the hood. The catalytic converter in a V6 model Honda is particularly well-protected, and is built into the manifold itself.” The complete story is available here.

The following except is from Joel Makower in The State of Green Business, 2016: “Water scarcity — due to extended periods of drought, climate changes and over-usage of the scarce resources — emerged as a large news story recently. Further impacting the effects on our health and ecosystems, water shortages hinder many business activities. Companies have ordered water savings within their internal activities, as well as for their suppliers. The new trend between 2010 and 2014 has been organizations using less water. Those using less water (down 1% for U.S. firms) and a bit higher water use globally (up 4%). They are also using less water per unit of earnings. Increased usage in 2012 and 2013 demonstrated the need to employ more efficient operations. For U.S. companies, the most noteworthy savings have been in acquired water from municipalities (down 13% for the 5-year period) and cooling water (down 10 %). Globally, firms procured less water from cities by 5% and cooling water by 4%. However, direct extraction of groundwater or surface water has increased among U.S. firms (up 1%) and significantly among global companies (up 32%). Similarly, supply-chain water usage spiked for the U.S. (up 5%) and global firms (up 6%).

Comparative improvements in water use concentration are more promising. Use has decreased for almost all types of water use. The biggest decreases have been for bought water from municipalities (down 25 % among both U.S. and global firms), cooling water (down 23 percent in the U.S. and 17 percent globally), direct withdrawal of groundwater or surface water (down 12 percent among U.S. companies) and supply-line water use (down 11% in the U.S.). The only enlarged water use intensity stemmed from directly withdrawing ground or surface water for global companies (up 14%). Corporate programs to limit water use will continue to be critical for viable environmental sustainability, particularly as water scarcity impacts more regions and climate changes alter the normal water cycle. As a positive indicator, water usage and intensity are overall decreasing. However, absolute water usage still is higher and is therefore a problem to business as usual. This seems to indicate that companies haven’t fully determined how to keep the bottom line without heightening water usage. There isn’t a need to alter this trend and thus further continuous developments in water efficiency.” The full story can be located here: https://www.greenbiz.com/article/state-green-business-2016

Center for Resource Recovery and Recycling report tells us the following: “Secondary aluminum processing sites convert gathered aluminum-filled scrap into a fully recycled, reusable product. These products are in a variety of forms. The incoming product to these sites is typically pre-treated via a cleaning process involving heat or chemicals to limit contamination due to contaminants like carbon from polymers, paints, and lacquers etc.

This study makes reference to light gauge & heavy gauge recovery processes. These segments are made as a reference to the size and overall area of the scrap class that is being charged into the furnaces. Light gauge scrap (i.e. auto-shred Twitch) will be of lesser size and has a high surface area to volume ratio. Heavy gauge scrap (i.e. Al alloy wheels, Al bumpers) is bigger in size and has a lower surface area to volume ratio versus light gauge scrap. Dross is formed naturally during aluminum smelting; reactions with oxygen form aluminum oxide at a higher rate during the melting process due to the increased processing temperature. During liquefaction of aluminum product, the aluminum oxide films on the product of the individual particulates come to the surface of the molten volume. This by-product is filtered and sent to a dross processor for further recovery. White dross is a type that forms when no salt flux is used during the melting. Salt cake is a by-product of white dross processes and consists of close composition to that of black dross. A similar composition results because a salt fluxing agent that is utilized during white dross processing to extract aluminum-based units. Salt cake & black dross consist of different compositional proportions of aluminum, aluminum oxide & salt flux.

A spike in production increases the aluminum metal unit loss, thus decreasing the recycling rate of auto aluminum. Many reasons attribute to this limit including purity of the melt and, as discussed, surface area to volume ratio. Mixes of aluminum scrap products, possibly mixed with primary aluminum, are commonly charged together to generate the required secondary aluminum alloy. Secondary aluminum recovery processors understand and quantify the metal yield expected from each charge and identify how each mix amid constituent affects this yield. Due to the variable nature of these charge mixtures, distinguishing them into two categories, heavy and light recovery processes, although not handled separately in most cases, permits an appropriate melt yield to be credited to the scrap class that is being recovered to form a new aluminum material.” To view the complete study click here.

A study co-authored by the Center for Resource Recovery and Recycling, Metal Processing Institute, and the Worcester Polytechnic Institute reported some interesting data: “The total recycling rate for auto aluminum is 91%. These surveys covered 5% of the US’ dismantling industry considering the amount of end-of-life (ELVs) vehicles entering the survey responder’s lots, 32% of the downstream separation industry based on volumetric throughput and 60-70% of the secondary aluminum processing sector based on market share statements. The measured average material collection percentage for ELVs that go through a dismantling outfit and a downstream separation system is 99.7%. The major hindrance for the auto aluminum recycling percentage stems from the recovery processes. The product when in the form of aluminum oxide is brought to a landfill from these processes. When a heavier gauge scrap category is charged, referred to for our purposes as a heavy recovery process, the metal yield of 95% is typical. Light gauge scrap melting is believed to generate in a metal yield of 91%, and the method is termed as a light recovery process in the report. Most of auto aluminum is light gauge, mixed, or shredded scrap. It’s been stated that 86% of obsolete auto-aluminum is charged in this form.

Analyzing the sensitivity to determine a minimum & maximum auto aluminum recycling percentage (RR%) for the US. This RR% range is 80% – 98%. The measured average of 91% falls between there and is believed to be much more indicative of the overall industry versus these extremes. This report provides a basis of the variability of the secondary aluminum production sector specifically relative to auto aluminum gathering and recovery.

The demand for aluminum in the North American auto sector is supposed to grow through 2025. Ducker Worldwide reports a 39% spike of aluminum weight per North American light vehicle over the next 10 years. The big driver for the rise is the added content in body sheet & closures with continued content expansion in casting & extruded auto-components. The rise in aluminum is somewhat driven by the advantage of vehicle light-weighting to attain the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFÉ) standards. Aluminum, being a lighter-weight product compared to conventional materials, delivers similar strength. Lighter materials allow for overall lighter delivered vehicles with similar safety performance while boosting fuel economy. The amplified use of aluminum in auto also helps advance car fuel efficiency while reducing overall energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions from a vehicle lifecycle point of view, as indicated in several life cycle studies.” The full story is available here: http://drivealuminum.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Final-Report-Automotive-Aluminum-Recycling-at-End-of-Life-A-Grave-to-Gate-Analysis.pdf

Protecting the physical environment with our auto scrap recycling program is an effective way to reduce reliance on expanding landfills.

In an August 22, 2016 story by Arlena Sawyers on Automotive News, we learned the following: “In 2016, used-vehicle prices should drop because of the heightened supply of off-lease vehicles. First, strong demand for pre-owned trucks caused prices to rise off-setting lower used-car prices, especially in the small-to-mid segments. Better economic conditions and an industry that understands how to buy, price and sell used vehicles also helped prices this year.

Forecasters say used-vehicle depreciation will worsen in the 2nd half of the year, driven by a rise in the supply of used vehicles & in new-vehicle incentives. Jonathan Banks, executive analyst at NADA Used Car Guide, expects used-vehicle pricing to soften more this year, but he admits he is surprised at the resilience of the market. Better marketing strategy, such as in the certified pre-owned segment, has helped, he says. Banks says 3.1M off-lease vehicles are expected to return to the market this year, an increase from 2.3M in 2015. That number is expected to grow to 3.4M in 2017 and 3.8M in 2018.

Prices of pre-owned subcompact cars have taken the biggest hit this year, with prices dropping 20% through July vs. a drop of just over 13% in the year-earlier period. Yet the segment’s 3.9% price decline matched the average for that period in the prior (3) years. Conversely, through July, full-size pickups were down almost 7% compared to about 3% last year. The strong economy, including credit availability and low interest rates, are the reasons used-vehicle prices have sustained this year.”

We are back with another installment discussing the recycling solution for using shredded car tires for construction projects, which is based on a Calrecycle 2016 TDA report: “All contractors and subcontractors should understand the basics of working with TDA prior to beginning. Information on prior completed projects and how TDA was used can help the management staff plan and complete the install without complications or delays. Based on management’s experience, once they’ve worked with TDA, they are typically comfortable doing so. The advantages of it include the following: The materials can be moved with conventional construction equipment.  It’s produced from waste tires and (supposedly) cleaned with fewer fines than rock or gravel.  The quality of the production is monitored, and no density test is needed to validate. It is lighter-weight and free-draining, and it has non-degrading type characteristics. Since TDA is derived from waste tires, it can rouse public attention sometimes, thus an on-site representative should be designated to act as the project public relations (PR) person if needed. This person should be appropriately selected so that media interruptions do not slow the progress of the job.

TDA is considerably lighter than conventional fill material. The limiting factor for moving TDA is not its weight but its volume. To provide the most low-cost method of trucking, trailers need to be big enough so the weight of the TDA being moved reaches the legal highway limit (80,000 lbs gross). The ability to hold and stockpile quantities of TDA on-site before use will allow for the best time and materials management. When considering a TDA stockpile site, the local fire department’s approval should be sought. It is recommended that only vehicles with tires filled with self-sealing gels be used in working with TDA, since it may contain metal shredding.” The full article is available here.

A salvage car can certainly be an eyesore when left sitting around in Truro, Madison, or Gahanna. Each and every business should consider taking steps to be more environmentally friendly.

A CA Department of Resources Recycling & Recovery’s recent report tells us the following: “The earliest known use of scrap tires in engineering-related applications occurred in the 1970s, when waste tires were used for building breakwaters and reefs. Use of junk tires in these applications was very limited through the 1980s. Since the late-eighties, CalRecycle has begun a variety of initiatives to greatly increase the volume of waste tires that are put to a use instead than being sent to a landfill. A few programs have focused on research & market development for recycling scrap tires into TDA for varying applications. Illegal dumping, environmentally and financially horrific tire pile fires led CA to accelerate its movement toward beneficial uses of TDA.

The first transportation-related project using TDA in CA was an embankment project built in 2000 near Milpitas, CA at the Dixon Landing. The properties of TDA make for significant savings on this project. Utilizing TDA in civil engineering projects has become a big part of CalRecycle’s effort to divert these tires from landfills. As additional projects are completed, such use of TDA is quickly becoming attractive as an option for both. One of TDA’s biggest benefits is that it is lightweight. It also has great thermal insulation properties.” The complete story is available here.

Ken Silverstein of energymanagertoday.com posted the following story on August 5, 2016: “Everyone already heard the news that was that Tesla Motors will buy SolarCity Corp. for $2.6B—that helps Tesla improve its economies of scale when it comes to manufacturing battery storage for both cars & energy. It’s a move that has positive signs for the continued production of battery storage units, although this story will focus on storage used for power generation..

Residential units house smaller systems that produce 5-10 KW of electricity and can be placed in garages. More expensive per kilowatt hours, they are usually used for backup power (rather than generators) or to absorb rooftop solar production. These are used for frequency regulation or renewable smoothing – the most common use today. As for Tesla, it will sell its residential units for about $3,500, but the cost doesn’t include “inverters” that handle voltage levels during operation. They are lithium-ion batteries, which can discharge for about one hour. Many different storage technologies exist and demands are stringent. They are hoping to match the energy produced with the energy their potential use, which may be hard to do.

Other battery companies are also trying to enter the utility business. With 100+ employees, Pittsburgh-based Aquion Energy has started producing batteries that allow utilities to better handle their grids. It says it is selling units to CA and FL utility providers, but can’t release names due to confidentiality agreements. Aquion is offering the battery technology at a Duke Energy’s site, which is now testing their 1^st battery technology at a substation in NC — one that is demonstrating quick response, real-time smoothing and load transfer. One of the distribution lines at Duke’s station has a 1.2-megawatt solar unit connected

Battery storage could also allow wind and solar developers to grow in the marketplace, making the grids more efficient, and eliminate the need to increase power production to cover heavy loads. Until the price of batteries is reduced, progress will be slow; other green energy supporters say the problem is simply scale. Once advanced batteries are produced in vast quantities, the overall production costs associated with them will fall.

A recent article by Lisa Bernard-Kuhn on wcpo.com titled ‘Could toxic chemicals along the Ohio River be a danger to our drinking water?’ with the following information: “At a dormant Duke Energy power plant, at least 10 billion lbs. of coal ash containing toxins plus more are sitting on the banks of the OH River – a resource of drinking water for more than 5M people. How the polluted ponds got there began well before environmental laws were created to keep people & drinking water safe from potentially hazardous waste. How much longer these might stay — and put the drinking water at risk — is a drama just beginning.

Clermont County Commissioner David Uible says that thinking about what happened in Flint, MI is just how important water is to public health and safety; to think that we have a water supply adjacent to ash pits is unbelievable. The worst-case scenario is that you get a flood on the Ohio River that breaches the dams and all the ash is washed into the river. As early as next year, Duke has said it will begin deconstructing the old plant. The utility giant closed the plant in 2014 just as the U.S. EPA was instituting new standards for how coal ash ponds are managed.

Federal rules in 2015 set new standards for coal ash pond guidelines. OH is one of the largest coal ash generators in the US, and has some of the worst state regulations. The company has been conducting scientific & engineering studies at the site to figure out the best method to safely close these basins. They point to incidents in Pennsylvania, Tennessee and North Carolina where lack of maintenance and attention at aging power plants leading to large spills of coal ash into local rivers and streams from ponds like in Beckjord.” The article is available in its entirety at this link.

Courtney Friedman compiled an article in the July 15, 2016 edition of ksat.com titled ‘Recycling center with list of citations feels pressure from city, residents’ with the following reports: “A recycling center with a lengthy list of violations is angering nearby residents. The city is cracking down on this company, giving them a last chance to stay open. Antonia Aldaco has lived on Seguin Street for sixty years. She says the dust from the place gets into her house. About six months ago, Ascent Recycling moved into the industrial site next to her and it has been overly dusty. She is also upset about the trash flying all the way to I-35. The other violations are rodents, rats. In the middle of the night, they have rats coming across the street says Rose Hill, Government Hill Neighborhood Association president.

This recycling plant moved from a location on S. Cross Blvd. They had some violations to the extent that we had to shut them down. They were improperly zoned properly and not following city rules. Ascent moved to Seguin St. to an industrial zoned property where they could legally process cardboard. Inspection documents pulled through an open records request show Ascent Recycling started illegally recycling metal in January and February, despite saying they wouldn’t. These metal violations handled through the court process. They had 15 citations just for that violation, totaling $3,000 in fine. They stopped metal recycling in April. Now, other citations include: trash, debris, overgrown weeds, vegetation, dust and parking lot-related problems..

One way to limit dust is by paving the areas that are heavily trafficked. The city will take Ascent Recycling to court in August over the latest violations. If the owners do not comply, they’ll be shut down. The neighborhood association says it supports all businesses, but this business seems unwilling to work with the residents and is making their quality of these elderly people’s lives miserable. KSAT has now made several attempts to contact the owner of the company but hasn’t received a response yet.” The full article is available here.

In the July 11, 2016 edition of KomoNews an article composed by Mark Miller titled ‘Puyallup police crackdown on abandoned junk cars left in the street’ informed us the following: “A beat-up old Z28 Camaro parked on a residential street could be an eye-popping classic muscle car. But it was tagged by a Puyallup Police parking enforcement officer because it’s considered an abandoned vehicle. Police have launched a crackdown after citizen complaints about beaten up cars and trucks recently.

Deputy Chief Dave McDonald says it is a quality of life issue; people don’t want to have to view abandoned cars on the streets. He says the department is asking the citizens to report suspected junk vehicles. While many people call because they object to the ugliness and because abandoned vehicles can bring down their neighborhood, reporting such cars and trucks helps police solve crimes. A lot of cars that have been stolen are recovered this way. People often call in, so we would run the plate and find it was stolen. Under city law, a car cannot remain parked on a public street for more than seventy-two hours in a row. When a parking vehicle officer tags a vehicle, they write time on the window and place a sticker on the windshield, which is a warning that the vehicle can be towed at the owner’s expense if not moved in 72 hours. If no contact is made or we get no response, then these cars are towed away. The full story is available here.

In another similar effort to clear the streets of unwanted vehicles, on the timesheraldonline.com a story with the headline of ‘Vallejo police start ridding streets of abandoned vehicles’ informed us as follows: “An abandoned vehicle enforcement operation conducted recently impounded 71 cars for various violations, Vallejo PD officials said. The Traffic Division and the Community Services, along with other staff, checked 271 cars that had been reported to police as being possibly abandoned. Of those, 185 were found to be currently registered & legally parked.

The Vallejo PD encourages anyone who has a vehicle that is not registered, missing key components needed to operate or otherwise abandoned on a city street, to have it moved in compliance with local law. You can report abandoned vehicles in multiple ways: by phone — (707) 648-4682, on the internet — www.ci.vallejo.ca.us, click on City Hall, Police, Online Services,” officials said.” The article can be viewed in its entirety here.

Jerold Chinn posted an article titled ‘Residents reminded of risks of disposing used motor oil’ on sfbay.ca on July 8, 2016 with the following story: “San Francisco officials are retelling residents that discarding used motor oil isn’t safe for the local water system or our environment. It is illegal to dump used oil on the city streets or in the drains. At a press conference Katy Tang, a Supervisor with the Department of the Environment, said that people should recycle used motor oil at businesses such as Pennzoil 10-Min Oil Change. Those who bring in their used motor oil can receive forty cents for each gallon they bring in. These collection sites can accept up (5) gallons per visit. Residents only need to give provide their name when dropping off the oil.

Tang said in a statement that she recalls helping her dad change the oil to their vehicle when she was younger. The department is aggressively promoting a campaign targeting various communities to recycle used oil by placing signs in different languages including Chinese language billboards, municipal bus ads & web ads. Director of the Department of Environment Debbie Raphael, says that it is important to keep the SF Bay area clean of motor oil and to advise residents on how dispose the oil. The neighborhood based collection centers like Pennzoil make it simple and easy for residents to bring in their oil and leave feeling like they’ve done their part to protect the local environment. The city has twenty-three participating auto-related businesses that will take used motor oil, the department said in including (4) in the Sunset District. The department reports that these collection sites collected 27K gallons of oil. About 30% of the oil collected came from specifically the Sunset District. Anyone who attended the press conference was given a complimentary oil pan.”

In reviewing this article, a few thoughts come to mind. Virtually all adults (that have a brain) know that used oil should not be dumped on to the ground or in our drains. Some people may think it is OK to dispose of the used oil in with their trash—which is not true. The true issue is that those choosing to improperly dispose of hazardous oil are likely just lazy or the simply do not care. Those who are found violating these basic environmental laws need to be harshly made aware that we DO care about the issue. For someone who intentionally dumps used motor oil on to the ground or into drains, the punishment for a 1^st offense should be something like a combination of an $800 fine and 24 hours of community service.

On July 5, 2016 an article titled ‘US Auto Fuel Economy Rating Slips in June’ composed by Paul Ausick explained the following: “The average fuel-economy rating for newer cars sold in the US for June 2016 was 25.3 MPG, down 0.1 mpg compared with the month of May . For all  2015, the overall average fuel-economy rating for new vehicles sold was 25.3 mpg.

While the window paper average is 5.2 mpg higher than when the information were first gathered, the average is still 0.5 mpg below its all-time high of 25.8 mpg set in August 2014. When gas prices started falling in the US, consumers purchased more light trucks, SUVs and crossovers, which get lower mpg ratings and contribute to the low average. The information are based on the average sales-weighted fuel-efficiency rating printed on a newer car’s window sticker and is compiled by Michael Sivak & Brandon Schoettle of the University of Michigan’s Transportation  Institute.

The sales-weighted unadjusted Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) efficiency rating averaged 31.7 MPG in May, up 0.4 mpg month over month and an improvement of 7.0 mpg since October 2007. These numeric values aren’t clearly comparable to the  ratings because these are adjusted by the EPA & used to gauge the window-sticker ratings. Overall vehicle sales in the month of June rose 2.5% 1.51M units. For the year to date, sales are up 1.5% versus  2015. On a seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) scale, the sum fell from 17.46M units in May to 16.68M units in June. In June 2015 the SAAR came in at 17.01 million units.” The full article is available at this link:  http://247wallst.com/autos/2016/07/05/us-auto-fuel-economy-rating-slips-in-june/

In the July 1, 2016 edition of Recycling Today and article titled ‘Houston to require licenses to handle scrap tires’ told us the following: “The City of Houston, TX has begun enforcing its Scrap Tire Ordinance following a 6-month preliminary grace period. Under the newly added ordinance, approved by City Council late last year, all junk tire operations in the city limits are now required to properly register with the city. Additionally, it establishes rules, regulations & procedures for the transportation, storing, recordkeeping and environmental disposal of scrap tires. It is estimated that over 19K tires have been removed in this manner since February as the city works to stop illegal dumping at sites in the city that can serve as healthy breeding grounds for the mosquito-born virus known as Zika. Mayor Sylvester Turner says that this is a huge problem in the neighborhoods, and we have to counter it from all angles.

All the businesses that are presently involved in the used/scrap tire market will be required to register and/or obtain a license annually with the city. Tire transportation companies must display a city-issued sticker on their trucks. Tire generators must allow inspections of their records each year. Beginning in July, inspectors will be visiting businesses to check for tire compliance. The cost to register is about $93 for a business that generates scrap tires and $172 for entities that handle the transport of them. Owners who refuse to register will receive tickets. Fines are $250/day, per offense. The illegal dumping of scrap tires is a serious health & safety concern in the City of Houston, because these tires provide breeding places for mosquitoes and other insects that can carry diseases, and have potentially adverse effects on the health of citizens.” The full article is available here: http://www.recyclingtoday.com/article/houston-tire-ordinance/

On June 22, 2016 an article was posted on Environmental Leader by Ken Silverstein titled ‘Recycling and Reusing is Good for the Environment and the Company’ with the following details: “When it comes to formalizing your company’s brand and image on reducing and recycling you nearly apply it to every material in the shop. That’s a key point that the ISS’ head of sustainability Dan Gilbert made at Environmental Leader’s recent conference in a session about sustainability. The ultimate goal, he said, is to create “zero waste,” which can mean cutting anywhere from 90% to 100% of what your company is puts in landfills. The final 10%, he emphasized, is where the real work is. To get there, businesses should be measuring and managing their waste streams, and reporting their progress at least on a quarterly basis.

If you save money, your corporate leaders are more than likely to get behind the initiative. While those sustainability efforts require an upfront outlay in time and resources, they build affinity in communities and among customers. Some examples: Computers would be the worst thing to toss in the landfill. This is since they have so many metals and that can leach into the ground water system. Other things that businesses can recycle include supplies, equipment, boxes, shelving and miscellaneous racks.

The companies that take those items might pay those donating for the materials that will eventually go into new products. If a mobile phone is built from recycled components, it prevented waste from going into the landfill and it has created a perfectly good use of still viable components. Companies with their own cafeterias, furthermore, can compost their food scrap rather than toss it in the trash. Food scraps are heavy and they break down and create methane gases. It is possible to be composted and that enriches the soil. Things like plastic pieces, tableware and coffee cups can also be eco-friendly — meaning they are biodegradable.

All businesses can take steps to be more environmentally friendly. One of the fastest ways to do so is to create separate containers for the recyclables and the real trash — but not to mix together. A single-stream deposit in which everything goes into a single bin is better than having various ones for different items. As for the companies that have to invest in these bins, it can be hard enough to get them to buy one, much less 4 of them. A local place to put all recyclables is usually the best solution. Having difficulty finding a vendor to pick them up? Start with the hauler that picks your trash. And if that doesn’t work, get on Google and look for one. He points to a recent Utah State University report that found 20-40% percent of the objects that go into the trash could have been recycled.” The complete article is available here.

In the June 15, 2016 edition of Automotive News, Eric Newcomer posted a story titled ‘Uber, seeking to boost capital, plans to raise up to $2 billion’ with the following report: “Uber Technologies Inc.’s hearty appetite for capital is driving it toward the market for big debt. The ride-sharing company is seeking to raise $1-$2B in a loan, a person familiar with the matter told Bloomberg. Uber is working with Morgan Stanley & Barclays on the proposed deal, the person said.

Discussions are ongoing, and the plans could fall apart, said the person, who asked not to be named because the discussions are private. Barclays, Morgan Stanley and Uber declined to comment. As Uber expands around the globe at a rapid pace, the San Francisco-based company is spending aggressively. In China now Uber has pledged to spend at least $1B to take on rival Didi Chuxing. Last month, Apple Inc. invested $1 billion in Didi. While Uber is losing money in China, the company said its business in the U.S. & Canada is good, even as it faces a price war at home with Lyft Inc.

Uber isn’t in danger of running out of money soon. After raising $3.5B from Saudi Arabia’s funds this month, Uber said it has more than $11B on its balance sheet, including cash and convertible debt. The amount doesn’t include the high-yield loan it’s seeking now. The leveraged debt talks were reported Tuesday by The Wall Street Journal. Earlier on Tuesday, Jeff Holden, the chief product officer at Uber, said the ride-hailing industry would change “when the money train stops.” In an interview at the Bloomberg Tech Conference in SF, Holden highlighted a “very distorted capital market.” He said: “When the tide goes out, we’ll see who makes it.”

An article titled ‘Tire recycling event to reduce mosquitoes in Marion County’ by Vi Nguyen in the June 10, 2016 edition of Wish TV 8 informs us of the following: “A recycling event is aiming to limit the overall Marion County mosquito population. Residents can drop off scrap or unwanted tires on Saturday at several auto sites around the Indy area. The local health department said old tires left outside will likely collect water over time, becoming a breeding ground for harmful mosquitoes.

Geoff Morris is the GM of the Mosquito Shield company. He says he is quite busy responding to calls for various treatments, saying that they do their best so people can come out and they can actually enjoy their adjacent yards pools or other outdoor activities. Morris says homeowners have worries concerning possible illnesses as the season progresses, particularly focused on concerns of West Nile or Zika-type afflictions.

There are some fundamental steps you can take to protect your home from mosquitoes. You could first start by removing areas of standing water throughout the yard. Removal of old tires, dumping wheel barrels out, any toy buckets etc. Even an inverted garbage can lid with some water in it can create an atmosphere for a mosquito breeding ground. On the south side of Indianapolis, employees at Meineke are ready for a Tire Recycle Day. Zach Dean, the manager, says that last year he had a lot of people participate. It is a good campaign that the city runs where people can dispose of junk car tires for free at (8) different locations.” The full article is available here.

On June 3, 2016 Lindsey Smith posted a story on The Verge titled ‘Wall Street loans Uber $1 billion to offer subprime auto leases’ with the following information: “Uber, in efforts to appease its drivers, has obtained a $1B loan in an agreement with Goldman Sachs to for new vehicle leases for drivers. The now giant reide-share, Xchange Leasing, LLC, was the recipient of the massive loan, beginning in July 2015. Xchange allows sub-prime leases to those who drive for Uber, but have subpar credit. Uber’s big Vehicle Solutions program, has developed after the organization realized that many drivers had vehicles that were too old, too small, or didn’t meet standards in some ways. In addition, the program offers drivers discounts with specific auto manufacturers, more traditional financing, as well as rental.

The major selling point is its flexibility. To obtain the lease, drivers submit a $250 deposit; and payments on a weekly basis — which average around $125+— are deducted directly from driver paychecks. Unlike most sub-prime leases, which often have harsh terms, they offer unlimited mileage & regular maintenance such as oil changes, tire rotations, and filter replacements. Also, drivers can return the cars with (2) weeks’ notice at any time 30 days after their 1^st payment. When the lease expires, either through early termination or at the end of the 36 month terms, drivers owe a final $250. A driver’s credit score won’t be impacted by early termination; on the flipside, leases do not help to build a person’s credit, even if payments are made properly.

Despite the flexibility, critics note the higher cost associated with the leases. If drivers keep the cars for the 3-year term, they will have spent thousands at a higher purchase price. Higher costs are the norm with subprime leases & Xchange’s terms are similar. These leases are often the lone option for those who are a credit risk. The big plans of expanding are not without risk, especially when leasing to people with poor credit. The agreement between Xchange and its lenders loans Xchange $1B up front, at a fixed interest %, shifting some of the risk to investors. Uber has no legal ties under the agreement. In addition to Goldman, financiers include Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, JP Morgan, and more.” The full story is available here.

In the May 23, 2016 edition of WTOV9, Ryan Eldredge composed a story titled ‘Target 9 Investigation: Should Ohio require vehicle inspections?’ with the following information: “Brooke County Sheriff Jackson says that one of the largest issues with Ohioans is that they will drive junk vehicles. Many drivers in WV and PA and police have wondered how OH drivers get away with operating cars that appear very unsafe. Ohio is one state that does not have mandatory vehicle safety inspections. Sheriff Jackson feels that there are cars that are rattletraps with fenders held with duct tape.

In WV, drivers must have their vehicles inspected. It is a mandatory requirement and managed by the state police. The cost is $10 per year and most people don’t seem to mind. Jackson says that he wants to have his car inspected and that it is simply a “common sense” thing to do. PA also requires inspections, and a recent study found that the safety inspection program saved many lives each year.

Lt. James Faunda of the OH State Highway Patrol says that troopers are constantly looking for unsafe equipment on a vehicle. When they initiate a traffic stop, regardless of the reason, they look at tires, lights, windshield and such to make sure it is safe to be on the roadways. OH does not have a mandatory inspection requirement like other states, but conduct random inspections. Ohio authorities are aware that vehicles that could cause harm to the public, causing a crash. Lt. Faunda feels that the volume of crashes that are attributed to unsafe vehicles is small. Officials with the OH Highway Patrol say that 1/3 of stops are for suspected unsafe vehicles.” The full article is here: http://wtov9.com/news/local/target-9-investigation-should-ohio-require-vehicle-inspections

A May 18, 2016 article by Jim Hardy in the Mirror informed us of the following: “Feral cats need somewhere nice & warm and they think it’s safe but obviously it’s not. These kittens will stay with us at the sanctuary during the day and staff will take it in turn to take them at night. They apparently need feeding every (2) hours. The staff at the animal sanctuary spent time searching the recycling center for the kittens’ mother, but were unable to find her. Workers at ASM Auto Recycling in Thame, Oxfordshire, were about to crush a scrapped vehicle into a tiny metal cube.

Natalie Clark, the office admin at ASM, says each vehicle has to go through various checks before it is scrapped. They found the kittens in this instance just in time and brought them into the office, prior to notifying the sanctuary. The staff from the sanctuary praised ASM for their diligence in the rescue and thanked supporters for donations which pay for the abandoned animals. According to Iain Atkin without the donations, they would not have the necessary resources to help in these situations.” The complete article is available at this site: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/four-tiny-kittens-rescued-car-7997325

Abandoned Car Towing

In a May 18, 2016 article by Mark White in the News Journal titled ‘Police towing abandoned cars’, we were informed of the following: “The Williamsburg PD has begun towing abandoned vehicles and plan to continue doing so. Police Chief Bird says they’ve been getting complaints throughout the city, particularly on S. 3^rd St., a really congested street. There is a large park and a library in that area. School buses are having difficulty time getting up the street. The junk cars had weeds growing up around them–had been there so long. Each of them had canceled registration, no auto insurance and expired tags.  One had concrete blocks behind the wheels; therefore, they decided to start enforce the abandoned vehicle law.

Bird acknowledged that people were upset that police didn’t knock on doors before towing them. Bird says after 21 years on the job that he can’t make everyone happy. It is a state law–not a city ordinance. Bird posted a copy of the state statute regarding vehicle abandonment on the police department’s Facebook page. The law states that a vehicle left for (3) consecutive days shall be assumed to be abandoned. Bird says that if it becomes an eyesore to the community then they will tow it. One comment on social media implied that the city is making money from this– which he disputes, saying they are trying to clean our streets up. Bird noted that he didn’t issue any citations on any of the vehicles that were towed, which he could have done under the law. With court costs plus the fines-it probably could have been over $160 but they chose not to do that.” The full article is available here.

So we have abandoned cars and abandoned cats. Glad to hear that the cats were rescued and also support the city for removing those abandoned vehicles. It seems that the people who have abandoned these old cars think that the community wants to see their junk vehicles cluttering up the streets!

On May 12, 2016 a story titled ‘How GM Generates $1 Billion from Recycling, Reusing Waste Streams’ by Jessica Lyons Hardcastle was posted on Environmental Leader with the following details: “GM is turning trash into cash — nearly $1B in new revenue resulting from recycling & reuse. GM’s latest sustainability report says they have not only saved money, they’ve also generating revenue. In fact, at the end 2015, ninety of their manufacturing operations (53%) and 41% of operations not related to manufacturing were landfill-free. At these sites, about 89% of waste materials are recycled and another 9% are converted to as form of energy. GM estimates reusing, recycling or composting over 2M metric tons of waste material internationally.

John Bradburn is GM’s waste reduction manager, and he participated in an interview with Environmental Leader. Bradburn says the company’s recycling & reuse initiatives were a precursor to their landfill-free program. The company has set high goals recently. According to Bradburn, he pitched a project to sell vehicle components with slight blemishes in the aftermarket market to dealers, rather than throwing them away-which was successful.

Employees water bottles are now recycled into noise-reduction insulation used in vehicles — thus saving money on purchasing new material. GM generates a great deal of metal byproduct, which is separated, sorted and sold, as well as reused within its plants.

Non-ferrous products like aluminum, bronze & magnesium are also separated & sorted at the facilities. With low commodity prices GM is making less on these then before. The company recently published The Business Case for Zero Waste, detailing best practices to help companies generate revenue from its byproducts.” The complete article is available here.

Today we examine the ever-expanding use of plastics and scrap or recycled plastic in auto recycling.

“Auto recyclers have been focusing on the recycling of some car components for many years, particularly steel. Conversely, auto plastic recycling is still in its infancy, since recycling of some plastics and polymer composite-based components can provide challenges in terms of cost, technology required and the very makeup of plastics. Further strides are being made to recycle plastics, however, especially post-industrial scrap, and use recycled plastic materials in car components as auto companies have made strong pledges to reduce waste and use of recycled materials in new vehicles. The overall quality of recycled bales & materials have greatly improved recently, increasing the ability of engineering to use recycled plastic toward production of new components. As segment of our focus of pursuing zero waste, SPI works to leverage the strength throughout the supply chain—from resin suppliers & equipment makers to processors, brand owners & recyclers—by recognizing challenges to recycling across the variety of plastic packaging and products. In the transportation end markets, like automobiles, SPI is beginning projects to help find opportunities for both recycling suitable plastic from automobiles that have reached the end of their useful life, as well as using recycled content to producing new cars & components.

Plastics and particularly recycled plastics are playing a state-of-the-art and growing role in auto makers everywhere. The American Chemistry Councils Plastics Division says plastics make up about 50% of a modern automobile’s volume, but only a mere 10% of its weight. Engineering and design teams seeking cost & weight savings are accepting technological advancements in plastic components for their distinctive properties & flexibility. The paramount catalyst for acceptance of plastics in car designs is surpassing the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards & assisting in boosting a vehicle’s fuel economy. The relative volume of plastics in automobiles is increasing, but with the industry focus on cost reduction, and the recent dip in oil & natural gas values, the market dynamics of using virgin resins vs. recycled materials is shifting. Thus, it is important for automakers to acknowledge the value of using recycled content, in both material properties and the environmental benefits. The true value of recycled material far exceeds any potential savings in cost. The auto industry recognizes trends & purchasing habits of consumers who want firms & products to be environmentally sound. Both domestic and foreign auto makers have been leaders in the green movement, in development of lighter, safer vehicles utilizing alternative fuels. Also, in minimizing overall waste & recycling materials like plastic.”
