Used goods are loved by many people for their low price and performance that is comparable to new ones! In particular, the more expensive the product, the higher the proportion of people looking for used goods. Therefore, it is said that the number of people buying expensive car parts and kitchen appliances used has increased. At the junkyard, reusable car parts are dismantled and recycled as used parts. - Inside the junkyard where nothing is thrown away! A junkyard in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, where up to 50 to 80 vehicles are dismantled per day. Here, 90 to 95% of the parts that make up a car are recycled. When a vehicle is delivered to the junkyard, the workers get busy. After inspecting the delivered vehicle, they sort out the recyclable parts and dismantle them. From here, the workers' meticulous and delicate touch is more important than anything else. Workers carefully dismantle each screw and wire to prevent damage to parts firmly attached to the car, such as side mirrors, audio, headlights, and seats. Parts separated from the car are provided to consumers at 30-50% of the price of new products after being washed and tested for operation. It is said that owners of new cars as well as owners of older cars visit the shop because they can obtain parts for discontinued cars at a low price. After the parts are dismantled, the remaining car body is dismantled into aluminum, iron, copper, etc. and sent to a recycling company. These days, even popular electric cars are unfortunately starting to end up in junkyards due to accidents. It is said that the scrapping process for electric cars is more difficult than for regular cars. Since they use high-voltage, heavy parts, it is essential to wear safety equipment before dismantling! In particular, electric car batteries pose a risk of electric shock and explosion, and if the battery leaks, there is a possibility of environmental pollution, so the worker's dismantling skills are extremely important. Let's take a look at a day in the life of a junkyard that dismantles cars and helps recycle resources. ✔ Program name: Extreme Job - Treasure hunters in used cars and used kitchen appliances ✔ Broadcast date: 2021.12.11 #TVRoboBoYeonGolaDunDocumentary
