The vehicleWe haul
Then scrapWhy haul it now
When a junk car is taking up space in San Francisco, removal is usually simpler than letting it sit.
An unused vehicle on a driveway, street or lot occupies space that a San Francisco property can put to better use. Neighbors notice when a wrecked, flooded or non-running car stays in place.
Working in the city comes with its own challenges. Eco-Dumpster takes those on as part of the job. If the title is missing, a legal option is available—call the junk-car line at 650-837-0262. If the crew cannot get the vehicle out, there is no fee.

Scrap steel is loaded, shipped to smelters and made into new metal items.
Hauling the vehicle is only the first step. Recycled scrap from junk cars is directed into the metal stream rather than left as an unused pile on the property.
LoadShips and loads take scrap steel from recycled American scrap.
SmeltThe scrap is shipped to smelters.
ReuseManufacturers create new items from the recycled metal.
Old junk cars become new metal goods. That is the path after Eco-Dumpster hauls the vehicle from a San Francisco property.
