A Simple and Flexible Process for Recycling DPF, DOC and TWC Components

How DPF and DOC Recycling Works with Red Fox

We offer two collection processes that work well for most customers, but our goal is to make sure working with Red Fox is exceptionally easy. Let us know what works best for your company; Red Fox is very flexible and will work with your organization to ensure a consistent process that works for you. To learn more, review the Ultimate Guide to DPF Recycling. Red Fox Resources only purchases parts from businesses and does not purchase parts from individuals.

Equipment and engine manufacturers utilize a combination of technologies to achieve emission standards including:

  • Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC)
  • Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
  • Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)
  • Three Way Cataysts (TWC)

These emission control technologies may contain platinum group metals (PGM) that act a catalyst and they can be recycled by Red Fox Resources.

Sell by the Part Number

If your company has a supply of emission control parts (DPFs, DOCs, or catalysts) in need of recycling, Red Fox will:

  1. Provide a purchase estimate based on part numbers and quantity.
  2. Arrange for the pickup of the parts at no cost to you. Based on location and quantity of the parts we are recycling, we will arrange for a direct pickup from one of our vehicles, an outbound LTL shipment or a truckload shipment to be sent to our Oakland, California, facility.

  3. Red Fox will provide payment and a liability release for parts within 15 days of receiving parts.  Checks written by Red Fox expire in 90 days.

Toll Processing

Red Fox can provide toll processing terms for high-volume customers who want to recycle more than 2,000 lbs of material at a time. Under a toll agreement, Red Fox would process your material and payout based on the actual value of precious metals in the lot and an agreed-upon set of processing fees. Toll processing lots generally take 100-200 days from receipt to payout.
