The algorithm for working with scrap cars seems simple at first glance. In reality, many structures are involved in it. The employees of the Gomelvtorchermet enterprise also make their contribution. According to the head of the Gomel workshop, Dmitry Zhlobov, to scrap a car, you first need to remove it from the traffic police registry, deliver it to the reception point, where the car will be weighed, evaluated, and the due amount will be paid.

We receive not only vehicles seized by the court. People regularly bring in their outdated cars on their own. We are interested in scrap metal, so we readily offer the population services for delivering old cars to the reception point. In addition to Gomel, workshops are located in the Petrikov, Rechitsa, Kalinkovichi, Khoyniki, Svetlogorsk, and Zhlobin districts. A kilogram of scrap metal costs 46 kopecks, explained Dmitry Zhlobov. To hand over a car for recycling, you need to pre-remove the seats, windows, tires, drain all technical fluids, including fuel, to prevent a fire or explosion. During pyrotechnic control, our employees will inspect what's left of the car, check it for explosion safety, chemical and radiation safety. After weighing, it goes to the shredder complex. This is high-tech equipment with a capacity of 50 tons per hour. Under human control, the smart machine not only presses and crushes scrap metal but also sorts steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and rubber products, and separates waste. To obtain colored metal, additional sorting is carried out. Then the raw materials are loaded into wagons and sent to the Belarusian Metallurgical Plant for smelting. The Gomel workshop recycles 6-7 thousand tons of scrap metal per month.
