"Most of the public look to salvage yards as a place to get cheap parts from junk cars. While true, they&amp;#039;re really the first stop in the enormous business of vehicle recycling. Though the prices from a consumer perspective are impossibly low, it&amp;#039;s much more than the yard would get at scrap metal prices. The yard is happy for the easy money, but their real money is in selling processed cars to bulk recyclers. Salvage yards take in busted cars and process the systems so that they&amp;#039;re environmentally stable by draining fuel, oil, and coolant; they then allow the public to pluck a few parts before they move on. Recyclers pay salvage yards different rates for different grades of metals. There are classes for several grades of iron, a class for painted and unpainted steel, a class for ground-up interior textiles, one for starter motors, and two classes for aluminum\u2014dirty and clean. Right now, every salvage yard already has literally tons of nearly clean aluminum: wheels, engine blocks, transmission cases. Dirty aluminum is anything that&amp;#039;s been painted or coated, and that&amp;#039;s what the F-series will be. In total weights, they&amp;#039;ll account for anywhere between 700 and 900 million pounds of aluminum per year. For the last hundred years or so, salvage yards have dealt primarily in cast iron and steel. This F-150 signals a change in that status quo. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
