Recycling auto parts has become a big industry both for the dismantler/recycler and salvage/junk yard. Below are summaries of the associated business insurance coverage.

Auto Dismantler or Auto Recycler Insurance

Both the auto dismantler and auto recycler buy old cars and other vehicles to remove functioning parts and sell as used auto parts. Some of these auto parts are overhauled or fixed to sell at retail stores. After all salvageable parts are separated, the remnants of the automobile is compressed and marketed to scrap dealers.

Available insurance includes coverage for:

• Commercial liability
• Property liability
• General liability
• Auto
• Crime
• Inland marine
• Umbrella
• Workers comp

Of particular note is that related workers comp can be problematic due to the vehicle crusher risks to employees.

Auto Salvage Yard Insurance

Insurance for the auto salvage and junk yard is thought to be difficult to place in terms of general liability and property exposures. Insufficient maintenance of the grounds as well as the presence of extremely toxic and combustible solvents, batteries and used tires on the property contributes to this obstacle. Unrestricted welding operations where parts are removed can trigger explosions because of the existence of gasoline and other inflammable matter. In addition, pollution is a chief worry for the insurance companies.
