How Many Cars Were Recycled Last Year (Infographic)

Kars4Kids just created an Infographic entitled “How many cars were recycled last year” (below). Given that we’ve covered recycling of old cars in the past, it’s an important but not widely discussed topic, and there are some pretty interesting stats here, I thought it’d be something fun to share here. Here’s a particularly shocking statistic from the infographic: if the waste oil from oil changes in the UK had been collected it could have met the annual energy requirements of 1.5 million people!
