This was made the year before I was born and in 2022 I am working for the Environment Department in my local council. It was a very interesting and perhaps prescient feature. Thankfully, the random dumping of end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) is not as common nowadays and the thought of setting fire to internal fittings in a car before you crush it is bizarre but I think we should have come much further with recycling over the past 57 years.

So many safety aspects here, the whole learning curve, imagine today, and 100 years time...
What a pity, the car at 4:40; it looks far better than my daily driver!
They didn't even set fire to it before they crushed it. Amateurs.
If they saw our current hammer mill and separation plants they would be really amazed
Them blokes walking round the trap door to the incinerator with just a shitty chain to stop you falling in 😂
The green car looked ok to me. What a shame to crush it.
Sparks from a metal -cutting torch.......no eye protection ..Jeez. .
The good old days. No gloves. No respirators. No safety rails or guards. Smoking on the job.
