In our latest edition of the Hollywood Hates Recycling Series, we’re posting a list of movies where recycling yards are featured – usually in an unfavorable light. Check out the list of junkyards by movie/tv genre, and take our junkyard quiz to vote for your favorite!
Hollywood is often held up as a virtuous protector of the environment, and the media loves to promote the earth focused efforts of stars and productions. But counter to their cause, moviemakers, TV shows, and reality TV consistently miss a terrific opportunity to highlight the real environmental work auto recycling facilities do every day.
(Yes, they do exist…)
Auto recyclers on the screen continue to be portrayed with a dim view of the property and employees, often landing between the silly to the horrific. Instead of painting the outdated picture of ‘junkyards’, let’s show Hollywood how sophisticated, clean, and environmentally focused the industry has become. If you or someone you know needs to get rid of an old vehicle, recycle with SHiFT today and turn around those Hollywood misconceptions!
We all agree that Hollywood’s portrayal of “junkyards” is outdated and ultimately harmful…but we do love our movies! Of these top selections, which junkyard appearance is your favorite?
