State of California Auto Dismantlers Association

The State of California Auto Dismantlers Association (SCADA) is a statewide trade association with 150 members and 6 local chapters and Direct Membership Areas. SCADA was founded in 1959 to serve the members in areas of education, government, business and social activities as they relate to auto dismantling and recycling. Licensed Auto Dismantlers

provide an essential service that directly addresses society’s ever increasing problem of what to do with end-of-life vehicles (ELVs). An estimated 1.3 million vehicles will reach the end of their useful lives this year in California, either by determination of their owners or by being declared a total loss by an insurance company. While those vehicles might otherwise end up on the roadside or abandoned in empty lots, licensed dismantlers acquire them and safely convert them into reusable/recycled commodities. Component parts are tested and examined to determine which can be reused or recycled. Fluids are extracted and properly recycled. The reusable parts are removed, cleaned, cataloged and stored. They are then sold to repair other cars at a savings of up to 80% over the cost of new parts. Recyclable materials are sent to a processor, and manufactured into new products. There are about 1,100 dismantlers licensed by the California Department of Motor Vehicles.

🇺🇸 **Happy Independence Day from the State of California Auto Dismantlers Association!** 🇺🇸

This Fourth of July, we proudly celebrate **250 years of American freedom, independence, and opportunity.**

For generations, American businesses have been built on the principles of hard work, innovation, and perseverance. California's auto dismantling industry is proud to be part of that legacy—keeping vehicles recycled responsibly, supporting local communities, and providing essential parts and services across our state.

As we gather with family and friends to celebrate our nation's birthday, let us also remember and honor the courageous men and women who have defended the freedoms we enjoy today.

From all of us at the **State of California Auto Dismantlers Association**, we wish you a safe, happy, and memorable Independence Day.

**Happy 250th Birthday, America!** 🇺🇸
