Welcome to the Automotive Recyclers Association!

ARA is deeply committed to meeting the needs of the membership and elevating automotive recycling.  our mission is to assist the membership and help grow their businesses by protecting interests, expanding opportunities, and working to increase profitability. Key aspects of accomplishment include listening closely to member wants and needs, staying on top of key issues of the day, and delivering results to support member success.

Everything ARA does for its members and is involved in is geared to achieve the association's mission and to defend and protect the industry. The association offers a number of tools to help the membership translate potential into performance, such as ARA membership benefit programs, the CAR and Gold Seal programs, industry networking opportunities, the Automotive Recycling magazine and outstanding timely newsletters that includes metals pricing information, leader profiles, and topical items of interest and use to the membership.

We welcome you to take a few minutes and browse through our site to see what great benefits ARA membership has to offer you. Better yet, ARA dues are incredibly low. If your company has 1-4 employees, your membership investment costs less than a cup of coffee per day from a 7-11. If you have 16 or more employees, your membership costs substantially less than buying a latte every day from Starbucks!

When we join together, your business wins along with our entire industry. You can do anything, but you can’t do some things alone. ARA is the key that is available to the automotive recycling industry to collectively succeed in areas where strength in numbers is required.
