According to the EPA, a single vintage vehicle can emit more smog-forming pollutants than an entire fleet of new cars. Trading these vehicles in often keeps them and their pollutants on the road. Recycling them with SHiFT, the polluting engine is fully retired.

SHiFT ensures a full retirement, permanently removing high-polluters while returning raw materials to the supply chain and local economies.

That little leak in the driveway is actually a bigger deal than it looks. We often worry about major oil spills in the ocean, but the silent spill is happening right in our own neighborhoods.

The Math: Just one gallon of used motor oil can contaminate one million gallons of fresh water. That is enough to fill about 1.5 Olympic-sized swimming pools. If you have a that hasn’t moved in a few years, it might be slowly leaking into the local soil and groundwater right now. Protecting our shared water sources starts with making sure those fluids are drained and handled safely.

Check out our Decision Engine - it's designed to show you the green stats for a single car, from carbon emissions avoided to the specific materials harvested for the circular economy, and help guide you as you're deciding whether to sell, repair, or retire: https://shift4tomorrow.org/car-calculator/?utm_source=social&utm_medium=facebook
