Is the entire vehicle able to be recycled or must certain parts be crushed?
All of the vehicle may be recycled with the exception of the engine. The engine must be disposed of, as well as any harmful or hazardous material from the car (i.e. mercury, antifreeze, or other refrigerants) must be removed prior to crushing or shredding. The drive-train can only be sold if separated into parts. The government will establish the detailed requirements during the 30-day rulemaking.
