A look at the roadsides of America,where ugly junked automobile ruin the view from New York to California,makes one wonder whether any number of shredders can do all the work there if to do .In Philadelphia,the number of cars abandoned on the streets in a single year was over twenty-two thousand.In New York,it was eighty-two thousand.In San Francisco,police officer Thomas Hull says:”We’re taking a hundred and twenty-five to a hundred and fifty abandoned cars off the streets every week,but people are leaving them faster than we can pick them up.”
A number of reasons are given for the problem of people who just get out of used cars for sale,which makes it possible for a person to buy one for very little money and throw it away when something goes wrong.Second,there is the low trade-in value of old cars.And,of course,there if the increasing expense of having a car.
In spite of the difficulties,some cities and states are beginning to make progress.New York has taken many more abandoned cars off the streets in the last few years under a plan that puts the Sanitation Department in charge of this work.In Baltimore,city officials say they have cleared away most of the ownerless cars in the city by selling them to metal-shredding companies,and a similar program is under way in Chicago.In California,the state government has passed a new law under which all auto owners will pay one dollar extra,for one year only,to pay for one-time cleanup of cars that people throw away.There too the cars will be fed into machines.
Still,many difficulties remain,especially outside the cities.The cost of moving junked cars---even when they have been flattened to save space---is so high that it simply is not worthwhile to move a car if the shredding machine if more than two hundred miles away.
The first car shredder was built by Mr.Proler and his three brothers in 1958.Before that ,they used a compression system that turns a car into a small square of metal in a few seconds.“The trouble is,” says Mr.Proler,” that when you press the cars into a package,you have to press a lot of other stuff with it,and the result is poor quality steel when you melt it down.We wanted to get the high quality steel the car was made from and get rid of the glass,cloth,and other material.The new shredders do that for us.”
With steel prices going up and many cities and states starting cleanup plans,the question of what to do with cars that people throw away may soon be answered.We will use the metal from junked cars to build new ones.

看看美国的路旁,从纽约到加利福尼亚,丑陋的废旧汽车的毁坏让人怀疑是否有任何数量的破碎机可以做所有要做的工作.在费城,一年街道上废弃的汽车数量超过了二万二千辆.在纽约,这个数字八万二千.在三藩,警察托马斯说：“我们每星期可在街道上收回一百二十五到一百五十辆被遗弃的汽车,但人们丢弃汽车的速度比我们捡的更快.”
一些原因是人们使用二手车,他们可以用很少的钱去买一辆车,而在车出毛病时将其扔掉.第二,旧车交易价值也比较低.当然,这可能会增加拥有一辆车的费用.
尽管有困难,一些城市和州正在开始做一些进步.纽约近几年已经采取了相关计划,将许多被遗弃的车辆收回,由卫生部负责这项工作.在巴尔的摩,市政府官员说,他们已经通过城市中的销售金属切碎的公司,清除了大部分的无主的汽车,一个类似的计划正在芝加哥酝酿.在加利福尼亚,州政府已经通过了一项新法律,所有的汽车所有者将支付额外的一美元,在一年内,付钱的人可以得到一次性清理车的服务.将有太多的汽车被送入机器.
然而,许多困难依然存在,尤其是在城郊.移动报废车的成本——即使他们被夷为平地,以节省空间,但费用仍然如此之高,尽管实在不值得移动一辆车,如果切碎机需要运作超过二百英里.
第一辆碎车机是由Proler和他的三个兄弟在1958年建立.在这之前,他们使用了一个压缩系统,使汽车在几秒钟变成一个小正方形金属.“问题是”,Proler先生说,“当你把车打包,你必须将它与很多其他的东西一起压缩,其结果是当你融化它时,汽车将变成质量差的钢.我们想获得高质量的钢,这样的车是免去了玻璃,布,和其他材料的.新机器将为我们做这些事.”
随着钢材价格上涨,许多城市和州开始进行清理计划,要对人们扔掉的汽车做什么,很快就会有答案.我们将用废旧汽车金属建造新的汽车.
