At a local steel plant, they recycle vehicles for scrap metal. The car is hoisted to a hopper about four stories high. The vehicle is ground down into shreds, the foam and plastics entering one waste stream, the non-magnetic metals into another, and the magnetic steel bits carted to hopper rail cars where it is stored for the blast furnace.
Most steel recycling is similar, it is just scale that differs. Most waste haulers fear these small propane cylinders as they can and do get crushed while hauling. Some start fires within the load and that is a big problem.
