Vehicles - Engines

Disposing of a vehicle engine can be a challenge because engines contain hazardous materials, such as lead, cadmium, and chromium, which can be harmful to human health and the environment. Some landfills may accept engines for disposal, but it is important to check with your local landfill first to see if they have specific requirements or restrictions for engine disposal.

Here are some other disposal options for vehicle engines:

• Sell or donate: If the engine is still in good working condition, you may be able to sell or donate it to someone who can use it. There are many automotive shops or engine rebuilders who may be interested in purchasing used engines.
• Recycle: Engines can be recycled for their metal content. Many scrapyards and recycling facilities will accept used engines for recycling, and some may even pay you for the scrap metal.
