Fluids leaked into the earth

The auto recycling industry hasn't evolved in decades.

Most salvage yards operate the same way they did in the 1970s. Fluids seep into the ground. Parts sit unlabeled in mud lots. There's no transparency about what you're buying, where it came from, or whether it works. Customers drive across town to dig through wreckage hoping to find what they need.

Environmental contamination

Oil, coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid routinely leak into soil and groundwater at traditional salvage operations.

Zero part transparency

Buyers have no idea what vehicle a part came from, its condition, or whether it's been tested. It's a gamble every time.

Wasted materials

Over 40% of recyclable automotive materials still end up in landfills because yards lack the infrastructure to process them.

From donation to doorstep.

01

Clean Pickup

Electric or clean-fuel tow trucks collect donated or end-of-life vehicles. No diesel fumes, no oil trails.

02

Total Dismantling

Every fluid is captured. Every part is removed, cleaned, photographed, and cataloged with automated tracking systems.

03

Test & Certify

Parts are analyzed for functionality and condition. Each gets a provenance record: source vehicle, mileage, test results, refurbishment status.

04

Search & Ship

Customers search the online marketplace, see exactly what they're getting, and order for direct shipping. No digging through mud lots.

Built Different

Not just recycling. Responsible recycling.

Every decision at PartCycle starts with two questions: is it clean, and is it right?

Clean Energy Operations

The entire facility runs on renewable energy. Solar, wind, whatever it takes to keep the operation carbon-neutral from the ground up.

Zero Fluid Leakage

Sealed containment systems capture every drop of oil, coolant, brake fluid, and fuel. Nothing touches the earth. Period.

Living Wages

Every employee earns a living wage. Sustainable business means sustainable for the people who make it run, not just the planet.

Full Part Provenance

Every part is tracked from the vehicle it came from through testing, refurbishment, and sale. Complete transparency, every time.

Automation First

AI-driven sorting, automated cataloging, and smart inventory systems maximize efficiency and accuracy while minimizing human error.

Everything Gets Recycled

Wiring, glass, tires, fuel, scrap metal. If it came off a car, it goes somewhere useful. Our target is 100% material recovery.

The future of auto recycling starts in Burnsville, Minnesota.

PartCycle is building what the industry should have built decades ago: a clean, transparent, tech-forward recycling operation where every vehicle is honored with a proper second life, and every part finds its next purpose.
