Pensacola Auto Recycling Facility Faces Repercussions of International Trade Agreements

Pensacola, Fla. – With the continuing debates in the capital on international trade agreement, many small business owners in various niches are finding that they’ll need to adjust some of programs their businesses currently offer. Pensacola auto recycling facility, Butlers Auto Recycling, is finding they are one such company.

The family owned business has been in operation since 1977 and has seen tremendous success over years, recycling over 10 million vehicles on average per year. The ASA certified company has historically offered their customers high-quality, low-cost alternatives in used auto parts Pensacola. In addition, Butlers’ Auto Recycling has offered a Cash for Cars program where they will come pick up any unwanted or unused vehicle and offer the owner cash in exchange. In light of a dramatic reduction of scrap metal prices, the company is no longer able to offer this service to their customers.

Starting back in 2015, the price of scrap metal has been on a slow but steady decline. With recent changes in the trade policies and production levels though, the decline as hit a wall with some metals being worth less than 75% of their value compared to 10 years ago. Recycling companies are now being face with receiving items like cars where they used to pay out $100+ are now only able to pay out as little as $50 a vehicle.

While the current state of scrap metal costs is pretty low, the team at Butlers Auto Recycling remains hopeful that the industry will bounce back and be better for it. The company is still working to reduce waste caused by automobiles by offering their customers the highest quality used car parts in Pensacola for affordable rates.
